03. Life Is A Church

Life Is A Church
by David Phelps



 

Watching the surf cover up my toes
Breathing the salt air from the coast
Ten years old with my eyes pressed closed
Life is a church

Remembering first love’s tender kiss
Mourning the loss of my innocence
The bittersweet taste of it on my lips

Life is a church
These are the sacraments
This is the altar
Love is the spirit
Making the blue planet turn
Life is a church

Chorus

Watching my baby being born
Written all over you, pain and joy
Holding your hand, it’s a little boy

Chorus

Ashes to ashes earth to earth
The preacher throws in the first handful of dirt
My little boy asks me, “Does goodbye always hurt?”

Halleluia, Halleluia, life is a church

By Marcus Hummon

Behind the Song:
"There are lessons about God and eternity all around us. This seems right since it is His creation after all. I guess the challenge is to have the ‘big-picture’ perspective of seeing how everything, including you and me, is interconnected." - David Phelps
