Lyrics

The one and only church of God
That Jesus shed His blood to buy
Beloved chosen ones of God
His precious people on high

True Jesus Church
Shinning with God's glorious light
True Jesus Church
The holy bride of Christ

The one and only church of God
The heavn'ly new Jerusalem
The city of the living God
The heavn'ly kingdom to come

True Jesus Church
Shinning with God's glorious light
True Jesus Church
The holy bride of Christ

The church is full of grace and truth
Her eyes are pure as gentle doves
Prepared and beautifully dressed
To meet Lord Jesus

True Jesus Church
Shinning with God's glorious light
True Jesus Church
The holy bride of Christ

True Jesus Church
Shinning with God's glorious light
True Jesus Church
The holy bride of Christ
The holy bride of Christ

The one and only church of God
True Jesus Church
Amen.

Begitulah lyric lagu ini. Jika kita perhatikan lyric lagu ini, kita dapati, ayat 'church' adalah sangat banyak.
Lagu ini mengagungkan gereja dari mengagungkan Tuhan. Ia seolah-olah meletakkan kedudukan gereja di tempat yang sama seperti Tuhan.
Sepatutnya kita menyanyikan lagu yang mengagungkan Tuhan Yesus, bukan mengagungkan gereja seperti yang di atas. Dan apabila kita meletakkan gereja setaraf dengan Tuhan, kita secara tidak langsung mengidolakan gereja. Jangan kita sekali-kali menyembah gereja seperti pada Keluaran 20:4-5.


"Jangan membuat bagimu patung yang menyerupai apapun yang ada di langit di atas, atau yang ada di bumi di bawah, atau yang ada di dalam air di bawah bumi.

Jangan sujud menyembah kepadanya atau beribadah kepadanya, sebab Aku, TUHAN, Allahmu, adalah Allah yang cemburu, yang membalaskan kesalahan bapa kepada anak-anaknya, kepada keturunan yang ketiga dan keempat dari orang-orang yang membenci Aku

tetapi Aku menunjukkan kasih setia kepada beribu-ribu orang, yaitu mereka yang mengasihi Aku dan yang berpegang pada perintah-perintah-Ku."

Keluaran 20:4-6

If we look through the lyrics of the song above, we noticed the word 'church' is being emphasized more than God. This shows that this song is glorifying the church rather than glorifying God, something that is totally unbiblical.
How can we put the church equal to God? God is always above the church. By putting the church as equal to God, we are trying to play God's role and become just like the Pharisee in the bible.
By idolizing the church, we indirectly violate the commandment of God.

"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any LIKENESS of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the EARTH beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments."

Exodus 20:4-6

*Christ above doctrine, not doctrine above Christ.

*Christ above church, not church above Christ
