We gather together
For strength
For fellowship
For encouragement
For worship
For each other
If I go to church only for myself
Only for my edification
Only because I enjoy it
Only because it's the right thing to do
I go for the wrong reason
If I go to church just to worship God
Just to hear His word
Just to sense His presence
Just to feel His touch
I go for the wrong reason
But If I go to church for others
To give an encouraging word
To shake a hand or hug a neck
To uplift and pray for my fellow saints
I go for the right reason
We gather together
Not for ourselves
But for each other
Not just to be in God's presence
But to be in each other’s presence
Not to be edified
But to edify others
Gather together today
And be a blessing!
