I Went to Church and Found Imperfect People There

The
Perfectly
Imperfect
Church

C                               G7                   C            G7
I went to church and found imperfect people there

C                     G7                      C      G7

I saw so many faults that I could only stare
F                                  Am                          F        Am
And then the preacher stood and I squirmed in my chair
F                              Am                         G7    C
He spoke of sins and I was caught quite unaware
                    C                             G7
Chorus: I've looked around, And haven't found

            C                           G7

The perfect church, In any town

C                  G7               C         G7

It was as if I was the only person there

C                             G7                    C       G7

And God was telling me that he does really care

F                               Am                      F        Am

And all my sins were known to him, he was aware

F                            Am             G7        C

And as I thought of all my sins I just sat there

(Chorus)

Challenge to
the Imperfect Church

C                        G7                   C       G7

Then I no longer saw the sins of others there

C                                 G7                       C         G7

'Cause what I knew of their faults just did not compare

F                             Am                           F          Am

To all the wrong I'd even thought which was laid bare

F                        Am            G7      C

I am the biggest sinner here I do declare

(Chorus)

C                          G7                  C        G7

I go to church and find imperfect people there

C                                  G7                    C       G7

And thank God for his grace and for his loving care

F                                     Am                  F        Am

'Cause he provides what none of us can bring to bear

F                            Am                  G7         C

Forgiveness and salvation that's beyond compare

(Chorus)
