My Church Is Black

[Intro: Spoken Word] You're standing a long time on the shore You try to chase away your thoughts You want to feel the land you're looking for You want to move, but you lost the gall You want to pray, but you forgot the words You lost the land you're looking for But the first steps are in your heart Some answers come from tears and from the dark And all the signs are in the heart Sometimes you must close your eyes To see Who you are My church is black My Christ is cold My cross is pale All hope is gone My church is black My church is black My Christ is cold My cross is pale Hell is my home Hell is my home My church is black My church is black My blood runs cold The sun don't shine for me no more For me no more Black is the moon Cold is the sun Sing hallelujah No kingdom come No kingdom come My church is black My church is black My church is black My church is black My church is black My church is black
