I think that I shall never seeA church that's all it ought to be;A church whose members never strayBeyond the straight and narrow way;A church that has no empty pews,Whose pastor never has the blues;A church whose deacons always 'seek',And none is proud, and all are meek;Where gossips never peddle liesOr make complaints or criticize;Where all are always sweet and kind,And all to others' faults are blind.Such perfect churches there may be,But none of them are known to me.But still we'll work and pray and planTo make our own the best we can.
