Name: O Little Church
Duration: P00H02M34S
Description: In 2020, when a pandemic shut down the Outer Banks of NC where we were staying, the little Christian Science Society in Nags Head became our family for seven weeks. I wrote this song as a solo for a Sunday service while there, as a prayer for this little church which has stood through so many storms, but also for mankind’s capacity to weather this storm of fear and disease.

lyrics

O Little Church
Words & music: Susan Booth Mack Snipes

O little church, here on the beach,
Your spire pointing to the skies,
You’ve stood so long through wind and wave,
No storm of fear can compromise.

Chorus
Hold fast the real, the enduring good and true
Because you know God is holding you.
Your faith is firm, forever safe, not built on shifting sands
But on the rock, the word of God that stands.

When all about there is dismay,
The threat of loss would overwhelm.
Contagious fear broadcast so wide,
But still our God is at the helm.

Chorus

This island home is secure,
Can’t be cut off or shut down, it will endure. Oh..

Chorus.

You’re on the rock, each held within God’s hands.
