Lyrics

The Great Cloud

If Augustine of Hippo were here right now, I wonder what he’d think and say
If the great John Calvin judged our crowd, I hardly think we’d make it today
If Martin Luther came to our church, would he hang his theses on our door
If Charles Finney stayed in our home, would he find a reason to come back for more

Chorus:

Why have we abandoned, the Great Cloud
Of witnesses before us, their voice is loud,
Why are we afraid and so proud?

If Whitefield ad Wesley preached tonight, would anyone care or come to hear
If Jonathon Edwards spoke just right, would anyone be moved or tremble in fear
Would Peter and James be loved today if they traveled and taught throughout our towns
Would Jesus make it in our little world, or would we be trying to shut Him down

Chorus
