Allen Thomas - Church Hurt Healed Lyrics

Man
Kado, you way too dope, kid
They did it again
Bruh, I feel like sometimes man, I don't even wanna go back there
Like
Maybe it should be just me and Jesus
Like, who do I really need?
Just me and the Lord, right
There's gotta be a better way
Uh
Wasn't 'til I got hurt from it that I learned from it
There's only one way to turn from it
I could drown in my grief
Thank God that I found relief
I can't live off hate, that's the worst deal
No more living church hurt
I'm leaving church healed
Church healed
I'm leaving church healed
No more living church hurt
I'm leaving church healed
I know how I live in sin has been wack
I heard them say come as you are, and I did just that
But they're focused on the wrong kind of mess
Saying change up the way you dress, then they all point and laugh
Disrespect, all I did was wear a fitted hat
Y'all dress to impress, but I never had it like that
It's just one example of offense that I had
When I could've left and never went back
Treated different, but it ain't new though
All the shade that you throw could make a flame turn cold
Got me looking for another place to go
Where the spirit freely moves like H2O
I been trying to hide behind this pen I'm writing
Wrestling bitterness in the dead of night
I recognize there's some things need to be rectified
Instead of fighting I'd rather be reconciling
Wasn't 'til I got hurt from it that I learned from it
There's only one way to turn from it
I could drown in my grief
Thank God that I found relief
I can't live off hate, that's the worst deal
No more living church hurt
I'm leaving church healed
Church healed
I'm leaving church healed
No more living church hurt
I'm leaving church healed
Thought I knew Christianese, but this a different type
Just cuz we disagree don't mean you have to criticize
Sin indeed all it ever did is divide
Hate is like disease, you need healing get in line
I wonder why anybody would want to come inside
When so many shun the truth and they love the lie
Say that we believe, I rarely see action
Is it just out of convenience, something we say in passing?
Gather Sundays and then we go our separate ways
Instead of breaking bread, why do we segregate?
Church is supposed to be a safe place
Where the lost can come in and take shade
If we're gonna claim we found a greater love
We got to show a better way to love
Recognize there's some things need to be rectified
Instead of fighting we should be reconciling
Wasn't 'til I got hurt from it that I learned from it
There's only one way to turn from it
I could drown in my grief
Thank God that I found relief
I can't live off hate, that's the worst deal
No more living church hurt
I'm leaving church healed
Church healed
I'm leaving church healed
No more living church hurt
I'm leaving church healed
Even though it hurts
Gotta break the curse
I wanna live
So I forgive
I'm leaving church healed
No more living church hurt
I'm leaving church healed
