The Church is the bride of Christ. She is to be kept pure. In worship song, we seldom sing about The Church. This song reaffirms the God that we know, Righteous and Holy, Faithful and true, Tower of Refuge, Light of the City. This is the God we know. And God expects His Church to be likewise.
Very often, the Church is not like this. We fail God miserably especially when we are silent about injustice, silent about the ungodliness in this world. We do not defend the poor and the weak. We do not take care of the sick and poor. We are complacent.
(verse)
When the stage is bare tonight
There’s no one else
Just You and me
When the curtains close behind
There’s no pretense
I’m on my knees
(pre chorus)
I will lay down my life
For the love sacrifice
You gave to me
It’s all because of You
All because of You
(chorus)
The God I know
Righteous and Holy
The God I know
Faithful and true
The God I know
My tower of refuge
Hearts are healed
Christ revealed
The God I know
Light of the City
The God I know
Strengthens the weak
The God I know
Your heart beats within me
As You are, so are we
(bridge)
This is my cry
My one desire
More of You
More of You
(last chorus)
The church He knows
Righteous and Holy
The church He knows
Is faithful and true
The church He knows
A tower of refuge
Hearts are healed
Christ revealed
The church He knows
Light of this city
The church He knows
Strengthens the weak
The church He knows
Is strong and mighty
As He is, so are we
