There’s a building nestled alongside the still waters
It has a band of very loyal supporters
It sits next to the majestic conker tree
Where children collect its treasure with glee
It’s doors are open to one and all
Not just to those who hear Gods call
It’s stood in situ longer than you or me
Alongside the lofty Horse Chestnut tree
On Sundays it’s filled with glorious song
But this isn’t just a singalong
Congregational singing full of happiness and joy
John Brock is definitely our golden boy
Waves of voices rise up like a living sea
Hearts, minds and spirits are truly free
Singing praises to the Lord our God
In the place where so many others have trod
Inside Carew Wesley you’ll find a sanctuary
But nothing about it is extraordinary
You’ll find ordinary people like me and you
Who will help you with whatever you’re going through
In the stillness surrounding you there is a sense of peace
You can just relax and let all your troubles release
Here in the presence of our dear Lord
Your heart and soul will be fully restored
These four walls have seen all emotions
Offered up in praise and devotions
We’ve laughed together but shed some tears
For all those we’ve lost over the years
So in this quaint little chapel you are not alone
Even strangers are merely friends unknown
So let’s come together in praise and song
To celebrate our faith, which will be lifelong.
