CHURCH HURT Lyrics
(Written by Matt Hammitt and Sam Hart)
I still talk about it
I say I let it go
But when those four walls fall
They can crush a faithful soul
I used to be so trusting
I hung on every word
I thought I found my family
And then my whole world turned
When I felt that church hurt
So hard to put into words
Feeling stranded abandoned
Thought we would end up
With heaven on earth
Instead of this church hurt
We found ourselves down in the dirt
All of us imperfect people
Under a steeple
Just trying to do God’s work
And then there was church hurt
And lately I’ve been asking
Did I really put my faith
In someone higher than a person
In something bigger than a stage
When I felt that church hurt
So hard to put into words
Feeling stranded abandoned
Thought we would end up
With heaven on earth
Instead of this church hurt
We found ourselves down in the dirt
All of us imperfect people
Under a steeple
Just trying to do God’s work
And then there was church hurt
I’ve felt the kiss of Judas
My heart has been betrayed
But if we’re being honest
Lord, we’ve treated you the same
Cause you felt that church hurt
When your blood and tears hit the earth
When you were stranded, abandoned
All just to hand us heaven on earth
I know your heart hurts
I know that you felt it first
But you love imperfect people
Under a steeple
And you did the work
To heal this church hurt
Lord, heal your hurt church

I cried while listening to this the first time. How I pray for our churches to be slow to judge and extend grace to everyone, just like Jesus did to us. Lord, heal your church hurt.
They’re not the remnant he’s coming back for thank u yah!🙌🏾🙌🏾 they’re scribes and Pharisees
Finally someone wrote a song about this!! 14 years of ministry and most of it terrible. At times, we still talk about it. By the grace of God, we have healed and moved on to great things and still share our faith.
Powerful… its so easy to become bitter after church hurt. Such a good reminder that Jesus felt that hurt first and hurts with us. 💒
Our family is walking through our own season of this now. But I choose to believe we are following the polar of clouds, God Almighty to our new place of worship.
SO many people (including me!) have experienced this type of hurt. But I love how you ended this…by putting the suitcase down and opening the door! Perfect!
i just heard this song today and I could not believe what i was hearing.I just spent the last few months walking through a season of incredible loss and pain leaving the only place that felt like home and family, the only church I ever wanted to be at and i somehow thought it would last. thankyou Matt for this song...trying to put into words this pain is so hard...i will always miss what was but hopefully the hurt will heal. Jesus heal your hurt church
I was betrayed by my godfather and the people who came to my baptism. I do not rely on the people any more, no churches or communities. People stay people. God can change you, your life, your situation. I hope I will come back here to tell you a good testimony after all…
Don't lose hope, keep your eye on God and you will be ok. I'm going thru things myself and I know it's not easy. It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do.. but we will get thru this with christ who strengthens us. The blood of christ is powerful.
I’m living the immediate aftermath… my soul has been shattered. Those in the Body of Christ think you’ve lost your marbles if you speak to your pain. This song helps more than I can put to words. Thank you
I feel your pain. I have been living with Church hurt for 10 months now. After 5 months we decided to leave that Church. It was/is absolutely devastating. I miss my church. It's still VERY painful. I never knew Church hurt could be so painful. Until you go through it, people have NO idea just how life changing it is. I pray that people never experience it. Love one another 💜.
Great song. Unfortunately it’s so relatable to so many people. We lived this and it still hurts😢
I’m sorry you’re going through this. 🙏🏻 Thanks for sharing. Praying for healing.
I so can relate to the song in so many ways. So much has happened over the past few years and this one really hit the nail on the head. Please remember me in prayer. Several unspoken prayer request. Thank you for your ministry. ❤️
Wow…..just wow…this was great and speaks volumes to a current season I’m in where after being hurt by countless churches I want to just quit altogether. Not abandon the faith, but abandon the church. Great reminder there at the end.
I can't stop listening 😭
Matt you bless me so much. I'm grateful 🙏🏽
I feel this.😢💔🙏
Hello Matt, the words of this song are clearly inspired by the Spirit of God. What a poetic way to help all of us see church hurt through the proper lenses. I praise God that He used you to minister to so many through this song, including me. Keep fighting the good fight. You are making a difference brother!
and the tears flow...and you pulled it all together!
Thank You
🙏
This was me… 😢 but now God has woke me up! All Glory to God!! I love Sanctus real! Good band! God bless you all
This hits me hard.
Two years ago I met such a wonderful woman, we talked for a year as friends, we became best friends and then we started officially dating.
After sometime we started to see the flaws and imperfections in one another through our disputes. I was always willing to forgive her and work on our issues, but over time she lost patience and started to change and withdraw. I started to see a cold side of her.
Many time of often ask how a woman of God, who knows the principles of church ,would change and be this way. Things were said and damage was done, all this did was leave us broken.
Sorry for your pain Steven.
@@MattHammitt thank you sir, in Time I’ll be okay.
I really appreciate your response and work that you do. It’s your music that really truly speaks to me. Definitely have loved your music since you were in Sanctus real. Blessings
Such an amazing & touching song!!! We should pray to be Godly in our actions, talk & ways with each other in church! Thank you Matt for such a timely & wonderful song! May God bless you for using your talents such as this!
Love this song. It is a much needed discussion. Thanks Matt
I'm so excited to hear this in its fully finished state, great job!
You have to hear this man live his voice is so good.
Powerful realistic lyrics very appropriate for so many. Good job
In 2017 I was deeply hurt by the church which left me struggling with depression, suicidal thoughts, images of me taking my own life, church anxiety, and most painful of all wondering if God had also rejected me.
In 2020 towards the end of May as the images of me taking my own life grew more incessant and began to be accompanied by an ever increasing sence of urgency to follow through with what they were showing me I stopped pleading with God for Him to take away my depression and just told Him about it. I poured my heart out to Him that day, I told Him about being hurt by the church, the unwanted thoughts and images, and how much it hurt when I wondered if He had rejected me. He told me to sing the chorus of my song until it became my reality. On the first day I sang the chorus over and over again. On the second day I once again sang the chorus over and over again. On the third day when I woke up there was Jesus and He said to me "I love you". I sat bolt upright in my bed and said "Jesus loves me" instantly joy flooded my soul and my heart began to sing again. My depression gone Jesus has truly rescued and healed me, no more anguish and despair, no more suicidal thoughts and images of me taking my own life, no more church anxiety and no more wondering if God had also rejected me. Oh what a wonderful Savior and healer Jesus is!
Love this song. I can relate to it I been so hurt by people in the church, but I learned to forgive and just pray for them because we are all imperfect people ❤
What a great song ❤ ❤️🩹
Wonderful song!
I love this so much. Your songs are a blessing

Wow that was beautiful, love the ending ❤
Love your music and the message 🙏🏻✝️
Thank you for this
Thank you 😔❤️🩹😊🙏
Beautiful and poignant lyrics for today's times...
I won't lie, I'm very curious as to whether or not this is inspired at all by Clayton Jenning's poem called Church Hurt or just a coincidence. Either way it's a really good song! And if it isn't, i recommend watching Clayton's Church Hurt, as it's a very good poem ❤
Thank you for sharing. This song and that poem are AMAZING!
My church leader is hurt me a lot time, I saw a lot of church leader who had sexual sin,go off on me,and Utilize me,I'm so confuse ,Shouldn't the church be a place where we love one another?why this place is so painful....
