If you should find the perfect church,
Without one fault or smear-
For goodness sake don’t join that church,
you’ll spoil the atmosphere.

If you should find the perfect church,
Where all anxieties cease-
Then pass it by, lest joining it,
You’d mar the masterpiece.

If you should find the perfect church,
Then don’t you ever dare-
To tread upon such holy ground,
You’d be a misfit there.

But since no perfect church exists,
Made of imperfect men-
Then let’s cease looking for that church,
And love the church we’re in.

Of course it’s not a perfect church,
That’s simple to discern-
But you and I all of us,
Could cause the tide to turn.

So let’s keep working in our church,
Until the resurrection-
And then we each will join God’s church,
Without an imperfection.

I read this in a church bulletin and felt the Author rally hit the nail on the head. Comments?
