Church Full of Secrets

Just a baby, 17, with a baby on the way
She was Daddies little girl, what would he say?
There was an easy way and no one’d ever know
Years later the pain it still grows

Are we a church full of secrets?
All alone in shadowed misery
Are we a church full of secrets?
A shallow smile, and all the while we’re dying underneath

They were married long ago on a cold September day
They never thought the cold would come around to stay
Sitting Sundays in the front and everyone they know them well
Do they know that their marriage is hell?

Are we a church full of secrets?
All alone in shadowed misery
Are we a church full of secrets?
A shallow smile, and all the while we’re dying underneath

When darkness stubbles to the light the healing will come
And judgment has no place for those who’ve been forgiven so much
Empty hands of virtue is all the we bring
So as sinners to the cross we will cling
Sinners to the cross we will cling

Are we a church full of secrets?
All alone in shadowed misery
Are we a church full of secrets?
A shallow smile, and all the while we’re dying underneath
