The True and Living Church

 

[Verse 1] The true and living church Is clearly not obscure With brilliance sure and dauntless Its light spreads out of darkness The Lord looks upon us And all that is within We must repent ever thus Or His light in us grows dim [Pre-Chorus] The keys of the priesthood Will ever lodge on earth To heaven it seals what's good May we more realize our worth [Chorus] The true and living church (hold to the light) The true and living church (we will do what's right) His light in us grows bright His light in us grows bright [Verse 2] To show our obedience We do what is better With God there's no allowance To His laws we must measure In our hearts we do search For each way that sustains As servants of the church We'll heed those God ordains [Pre-Chorus] We've an invitation To aid those discouraged Through our dedication Those lost are encouraged [Chorus] The true and living church (hold to the light) The true and living church (we will do what's right) His light in us grows bright His light in us grows bright [Bridge] Let's range across the land And give to those in need Let's extend loving hands And more spiritually feed And God above who sees Will shed forth glorious light For honoring His keys And for doing what's right [Final Chorus] The true and living church (hold to the light) The true and living church (we will do what's right) His light in us grows bright His light in us grows bright
