Flyleaf song for church: Ecclesiology 301

A follow up to the post,
"Flyleaf Worships in Public"..

check out the videos below of the new Flyleaf song about the church, to the church..
................it's ready for church!

In fact, Flyleaf's "Beautiful Bride"should be played in the same worship setlist as Dead Artist Syndrome's "Bride Song" ..(: Together they present a fairly full-orbed eccelesiology
(which will make Chuck Colson happy and lose his crabs).

Besides, you can dance to both songs.

For those who prefer a Gaither vibe in church, uh, maybe just read the lyrics...Then test drive the videos (volume up)

BEAUTIFUL BRIDE
by Flyleaf
Unified diversity
Functioning as one body
Every part encouraged by the other
No one independent of another
You're irreplaceable, indispensable
You're incredible
Incredible

(Chorus)
Beautiful bride
Body of Christ
One flesh abiding
Strong and unifying
Fighting ends in forgiveness
Unite and fight all division
Beautiful bride

Strengthen your arms now
Train your fingers for battle
Urgency's here now
Train your fingers for battle
Fighting this violence
With your feet wrapped in peace
Sad tears and silence
Now screams of joy
Victory

(Chorus)
Beautiful bride
Body of Christ
One flesh abiding
Strong and unifying
Fighting ends in forgiveness
Unite and fight all division
Beautiful bride

Beautiful bride
Body of Christ
One flesh abiding
Strong and unifying

We're not gonna fall and forget
How far You went to pick us up
If one part's hurt the whole body's sick
If one part mourns we all mourn with Him
Rejoice, and we'll sing with you
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

(Chorus)
Beautiful bride
Body of Christ
One flesh abiding
Strong and unifying
Fighting ends in forgiveness
Unite and fight all division
Beautiful bride (
