If Church Was a Bar

On a Sunday at nine I went for a drive Couldn't cry anymore so I stopped at a dive I told the bartender I was looking for God He poured a whiskey on ice and said you found the right spot He said that woman there has stories to tell We sit and listen as she drinks from the well Haunted by memories of things that she's done But I just remind her that she's loved If church was a bar we'd all be welcome No need to pretend that ain't where you came from Make friends with a stranger leave your shame at the door You could come as you are If church was a bar He said the man with the beer he's been here since five He's been told that he's broken and wrong all his life Looking for acceptance he can't seem to find I always tell him he's welcome anytime If church was a bar we'd all be welcome No need to pretend that ain't where you came from Make friends with a stranger leave your shame at the door You could come as you are If church was a bar If church was a bar We're all searching for the light Girl the thing is it never left your side So I paid my tab and thanked him again For showing me grace I didn't expect He said no need to thank me just pass it down And always remember, the lost can be found If church was a bar we'd all be welcome No need to pretend that ain't where you came from Make friends with a stranger leave your shame at the door You could come as you are If church was a bar If church was a bar If church was a bar If church was a bar
