[Verse 1: Golden Goose]
The Bible says “husbands love your wives like Christ loved the church”
I’ve never had a wife, only had something in the works but
Falling in love I don’t recommend it when it
Comes to somebody you can only be friends with
Yeah I awakened love too early then later regretted, like
“Forget her and find someone better—you’d better forget it”
But then I started thinking how Christ felt when I’d reject Him
And then I started asking this question, like—

[Chorus: Francessca]
Did Christ love the church when she wasn’t the church
And did it feel like this?
Was it pain, was it hurt when I wouldn’t say a word
Or want to live righteous?
Oh, I wonder if it was
Anything like premature love
Did Christ love the church when she wasn’t the church
And did it feel like this?

[Verse 2: Golden Goose]
Now hold up,
I’m not Jesus, don’t nail me for blaspheming
I’m battling past demons and feelings of inadequacy
And I’m mad at the man in the vanity, full of vanity
Wishing I was more handsome or talented than I am, you see
This is not the case for Christ—Lee Strobel
So don’t think that the analogies agree in total
But there are parallels, the same thoughts kept coming ‘round like a
Carousel and God spoke, but I didn’t hear him well
When will she pay attention? (when will you pay attention to Me?)
I just want her affection (you hardly praise affectionately)
I, at the time of looking for a hand to hold
Was giving the Lover of my soul the cold shoulder
People grow older, their hearts grow colder
Like she’s supposed to be the bride but nobody told her
Of the love letter, she’s never read a word of the Word
I wonder if it hurts Him, in other words—

[Chorus: Francessca]
Did Christ love the church when she wasn’t the church
And did it feel like this?
Was it pain, was it hurt when I wouldn’t say a word
Or want to live righteous?
Oh, I wonder if it was
Anything like premature love
Did Christ love the church when she wasn’t the church
And did it feel like this?

[Verse 3: Golden Goose]
Holy, holy, holy are you Lord, we adore You
Find somebody who loves me more, I implore you
Some come close but can’t score, this ain’t horseshoes
Some, it’s no love, they just judge, that’s a courtroom
God invented love so He’s the One that can do it right
He put it on display for all to see, call that a movie night
He knew the price, He knew He’d have to be crucified
What kind of love would choose to die for you and I?
And as for my relationship status, I place that in the hands of
My Master and Savior who’s more patient than man is
He’s my Maker and He knows all my behavioral patterns
He knows that which may be great today but later cause damage
In the wake of tragic devastation, heartbreak, abandonment,
Dismantled relationships, our Savior stands and waits for your and in His
Ain’t it romantic? No Titanic, He’ll never let go
I want to love Him with the kind of love I’m tryna be shown

[Chorus: Francessca]
Did Christ love the church when she wasn’t the church
And did it feel like this?
Was it pain, was it hurt when I wouldn’t say a word
Or want to live righteous?
Oh, I wonder if it was
Anything like premature love
Did Christ love the church when she wasn’t the church
And did it feel like this?
