This is such a beautiful song, sung by Karen Lynne.She is so good! Come on people, check out her music. She is outstanding. This is from her album "Shine Your Light", which has not yet been released worldwide, but hopefully soon.

The song is based loosely on Matthew 18:20. I interpreted the first verse to be about the early church as described in Acts. And I interpreted the second verse to be modern-day soldiers serving overseas. Not sure if that's what the author of the song had in mind, but that's what I envisioned when I listened to the lyrics.

Lyrics:
This morning the pews were hay bales
The pulpit, a saddle, thrown over a stall
The floor just a carpet of sawdust
The baptistry just a rusty old trough

There were no steeples
There were no hymnals
But heaven came down
There were no suits
Just worn out boots
Standing on holy ground
I guess it's true, if even two are gathered in His name
That's where Jesus is

Somewhere they were gathered and praying
Their altar a footlocker dropped in the sand
Sundays at home, just a memory
But there in that tent, they still felt His hand

On an airplane
On this old bus
In the silence He always meets us

Where there's no steeples
Where there's no hymnals
Heaven comes down
In our Sunday shoes
Or in our cowboy boots
It's all holy ground
I guess it's true, if even two are gathered in His name
That's where Jesus is
This is where Jesus is
