You Can Take The Buildings, I’ll Keep The Faith

They have the buildings,
We, the handful, have the Faith.

They have the media,
We have The Light.

They have the pulpits,
We have The Word.

They have heresy,
We have The Truth.

They have our money,
We have our souls.

They have themselves,
We have The Lord.

They have the offices,
We have The Church.

They have the buildings,
We have the Faith.
