There is a church here in the countryside
standing stately by the road.
It stands gloriously in its beauty
beneath the new fallen winter snow.

Travelers from near and far
are captured by the scene
of this beautiful country church
named for our Heavenly Queen.

This country church holds a history
of 15 decades or so...
The dedication of our ancestors
who settled here long ago.

On the steeple their stands a crucifix
reminding all who pass
of the presence of One Who loves us so
He died for us on the cross.

Spotlights shine upon this church
throughout the darkness of night.
It radiates a glow of hope
a touch of heavenly light.

The peace to be found within here
can hardly be denied
when we contemplate our Savior
and our Heavenly Queen by His side.

So if you travel through East Bay Community
take time to visit our church,
and give thanks for our Savior Jesus
and our Mother Mary who gave Him birth.
