My Church Is Black Lyrics

Me & That Man 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
