Allow me to comment, In fairness I love the tune of the song, but I believed the tune is irrelevant when the message or the content is unscriptural and not doctrinally sound. Here's some part of the lyrics somewhere in the last 2 paragraph or verse of the song. 1. "The church He knows Righteous and Holy" - this is subjective truth, yes there's a sense the church is Holy and Righteous BUT by virtue of Christ imputed righteousness. Theologians called it POSITIONAL RIGHTEOUSNESS, but in a sense of Practical the church struggle to become righteous and live holy lives. 2."The church He knows Is faithful" - not objective truth, but subjective. Most of the time believers (though not all) are unfaithful and dishonest. The scripture never never teach that the church is "True", only God is true. John 1 says God is the "True Light" , Jesus said, I Am the Way, the TRUTH and the Life. 3."The church He knows A tower of refuge"- this is false claimed, cause there is only one true "Tower of Refuge" and that is God alone, Prob. 18:10 4. The church He knows Light of this city- the bible says "you are the light of the world" not "city", Jesus is the Light. 5. "The church He knows Strengthens the weak"- Church never strengthens the weak, they may encourage but they never supply strength to the weak, only God can do that. 2Cor. 12:9 "My (Jesus) grace is sufficient for thee: for MY strength is made perfect in weakness" 6.The church He knows Is strong and mighty- if we are strong n mighty Christ death is useless, the word "mighty" is best only be attributed to God not to man. Isaiah 9:6-7"....and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God" 7. As He is, so are we - this is a dangerous claimed.
I presume they wrote it with these scriptures in mind: "I can do all things through [f]Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father." John 14:12 I believe they are trying to imply that what God wants from His Church are these qualities (in the last 2 paragraphs of the lyrics). Thus, failing to have them would mean that the Church is a Church He does not know. However, your point is somehow valid. Believers, babes and unbelievers will misconstrue this - in the end, be made to stumble. An apt scripture: "but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea." Matthew 18:6 Truth be told, the people who were involved in the creation of the song should be spiritually clear with the Word - that ONLY and ONLY with Christ, through humility, obedience, faithfulness and the frequent forgiveness of sins, can the Church be righteous and holy, be faithful and true, be a tower of refuge, be a light of the city, strengthen the weak and, be strong and mighty.
Bro, praise God for this wisdom. I'm looking for the right judgement for this song cause I first thought that something is off the scripture with the lyrics. May other listeners of this song be enligthened as well!
the songs are truly ministering to me right now .I'm devastated persecuted on every side, so lonely ,first few minutes of listening is already permeating deep in my soul and spirit .I love you Jesus my Savior, How I can be more like you Jesus? not to retaliate no matter how hard they try to destroy me. God bless Julie Meyer .,Amen let Jesus' face shine upon my face. Numbers 6:22-27 show us Your divine approval Your peace and loving kindness. Thank you my God.

If it wasn't for the last part it's a good song just get rid 9f the church he knows part and I really think it's a beautiful song
