More Church Than Church
by Unspoken, Walker Hayes

Album: IV

Mm

I wish Sunday morning could feel more like Tuesday nights
Twelve steps down to a basement under harsh fluorescent lights
All ages, all races, all walks of life at 6PM
Stumblin' in to keep ourselves from stumbling again

Strangers spillin' secrets in a circle without walls
Tryin' to reach for Jesus 'stead of drugs and alcohol

All sittin' in a grey foldin' chair
Sippin' coffee in a white styrofoam cup
Ain't nobody throwin' stones up in here
Can't judge 'cause we know we all messed up
Ain't no steeple just broken people
Wearin' those shame tags on our shirts
Where the truth is, truth heals, more than the truth hurts
That's more church than church

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
(Yo Walker, tell 'em bro)

Suit and tie or tattoo sleeve
Don't matter, wear whatever
Bring your baggage, you ain't got to have it all together
Twenty years without a drop or fresh off of a bender
No need to pretend in a room full of pretenders, no

Strangers in recovery, confessin' we are weak
Desperate for forgiveness and accountability

All sittin' in a grey foldin' chair
Sippin' coffee in a white styrofoam cup
Ain't nobody throwin' stones up in here
Can't judge 'cause we know we all messed up
Ain't no steeple just broken people
Wearin' those shame tags on our shirts
Where the truth is, truth heals, more than the truth hurts
Yeah, that's more church than church

One day at a time, one day at a time
Prayin' Jesus (Jesus) quench our thirst
(Yeah, that's my kind of church)
(Say)
One day at a time, one day at a time
Prayin' Jesus (Jesus) quench our thirst
(Yeah, that's my kind of church)
(Let's go to church)
So where the truth is, truth heals, more than the truth hurts
So where the truth is, truth heals, more than the truth hurts

All sittin' in a grey foldin' chair
Sippin' coffee in a white styrofoam cup
Ain't nobody throwin' stones up in here
'Cause we all know rock bottom sucks
(Ain't no steeple) Ain't no steeple
Just broken people (Just broken people)
Wearin' those shame tags on our shirts (Ayy)
Where the truth is, truth heals, more than the truth hurts (Ohh)
Yeah, that's more church than church

One day at a time, one day at a time
Prayin' Jesus (Jesus) quench our thirst
(Yeah, that's more church than church)
(Say)
One day at a time, one day at a time
Prayin' Jesus (Jesus) quench our thirst
(Yeah, that's more church than church)
