A Safe Church



The church should be safe
A place to be you
To ask for help
When feeling down and out

It should be a place
To worship God freely
Without criticisms
Or feel you are being judged

It should be a place
You go with happiness
And not somewhere
You end up in tears

The church should be safe
But that’s not always the case
Cos those who are in the church
Are just humans like you

Humans who are broken
Sinners like us all
No one is perfect
Not even us Christians

Christians should be safe
But that’s not always the case
Cos like everybody else
We can still cause hurt and pain

That may sadden you
But it is the truth
Because we are only human
And openly make mistakes

The church isn’t everything
Christians aren’t perfect
But the one sure thing
Is that Jesus is safe
