The Place
Lyrics by Fabian Ng
(Bridge adapted from Casting Crowns)

It's a place we call home.
It's a place where they say come.
Yet its a place where they seem so cold,
A place where their hearts are sold.. away.

Its a place; the body of Christ.
It's a place where everything is right.
Yet its a place where gossip dwells,
A place where people stumbled and fell... away.

Chorus:
What happened to our church?
What happened to the God inside?
Why is everyone so filled with pride?
Why do they take things in their own stride?

It's a place where doors are open.
It's a place where God is exalted.
Yet its a place where smiles are faked,
A place where people slowly fade... away.

Chorus:
What happened to our church?
What happened to the God inside?
Why is everyone so filled with pride?
Why do they take things in their own stride?
Why do they live lives of their own?
Forsaking their God, what's there to gain?
Why don't at the altar they surrender their pain?
Is it pride or the devil, or are they just insane?

Bridge:
But if we are the Body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the Body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way,
There is a way?

Chorus:
What happened to our church?
What happened to the God inside?
Why is everyone so filled with pride?
Why do they take things in their own stride?
Why do they live lives of their own?
Forsaking their God, what's there to gain?
Why don't at the altar they surrender their pain?
Is it pride or the devil, or are they just insane?
