about

After being rejected by the church council, JORDAN (LJ) goes back to the neighborhood gospel choir of his youth and searches his conscience and his faith.

lyrics

Where is the Church That Cannot Fail?

JORDAN: WHERE IS THE CHURCH THAT CANNOT FAIL?
IS IT RIGHT HERE?
WHY CAN’T I SEE IT?
COULD THE CHURCH THAT CANNOT FAIL
BE LIVING HERE WITHIN MY HEART?

WHERE IS THE CHURCH THAT CANNOT FAIL?
IS IT THESE WALLS?
I JUST CAN’T FEEL IT,
FOR THE CHURCH THAT CANNOT FAIL
SHOULD BE RIGHT HERE WITHIN MY HEART

PEOPLE ARE CRAZY, LORD
PEOPLE ARE HATEFUL IN YOUR NAME
SO ALL THAT KINDNESS AND
FORGIVENESS HAPPENS WHEN?

[Spoken] I just can’t do this. I can’t do it alone.

WHERE IS THE CHURCH THAT CANNOT FAIL?
IS IT RIGHT HERE?
RIGHT WHERE I’M STANDING?
FOR THE CHURCH THAT CANNOT FAIL,
COULD BE RIGHT HERE WITHIN MY HEART

EVEN WHEN THEY ARE CRAZY LORD
PLEASE, HELP ME MAKE SOMETHING FROM THE PAIN.
PLEASE COMFORT THE CHILD THAT CRIES
WITHIN MY SOUL AGAIN

WHERE IS THE CHURCH THAT CANNOT FAIL?
IT SHOULD BE RIGHT HERE.
RIGHT WHERE I’M STANDING,
FOR THE CHURCH THAT CANNOT FAIL,
IS LIVING HERE WITHIN MY HEART.
IT’S LIVING RIGHT HERE WITHIN,
WITHIN MY HEART
