The Perfect Church

Words & Music By Bryan Sirchio

Intro: Another Sunday morning, I guess I’ll go to church
But God I don’t mind saying, “I’m tired of always searching for a fellowship
That’s everything it’s supposed to be
I’m sure you know exactly what I mean…

Well worship at the perfect church is always well attended
Every Sunday looks like Christmas Eve
They never mess with pledge drives and the babies never cry
And the preacher keeps the sermons short and sweet
And no one ever minds giving a new idea a try

And everybody lives that “Golden Rule”
The older members smile when the youth group makes a mess
And the teenagers think singing hymns is cool!
The perfect church, that’s all I’m looking for
I’ve shopped around but haven’t found what I’ve been searching for
All I’m asking for’s a little “heaven on earth”
Show me a perfect church

The perfect church won’t be embroiled in controversial issues
Yet stands for social justice loud and clear
It uses all its money to fund missions to the poor
And buys a brand new organ every year

And at the perfect church there won’t be any hypocrites
No gossip, and no petty arguments
All committee meetings will be organized and brief
And church lasts 60 minutes or less

Chorus

Bridge: I want a church where sermons touch my heart and stir my intellect
Where everything they say or sing’s theologically correct
Where members live their faith with such extreme integrity
They even give God thanks when strangers take their favorite seat

Well some folks say that there will never be a perfect church
As long as human beings are involved
But God I do believe I’ll find that perfect church someday
‘til then I’ll spend my Sundays playing golf!

The perfect church, that’s all I’m looking for
I’ve shopped around but haven’t found what I’ve been searching for
I’d like a nice historic building with cutting edge technology
How ‘bout Augustine on a 10 ft. screen online liturgically?

The perfect church, I’ll bring my friends
I’ll moderate I’ll pass the plate I’ll tithe 25 percent!
All I’m asking for’s a little “heaven on earth”
Show me a perfect, show me a perfect

Show us a perfect Church
