"The Catholic Church Is Good" is part of a parody art project that reimagines Maoist-era Chinese Communist Party propaganda songs as Catholic anthems.

The Catholic Church Is Good
The Catholic Church is good
The Catholic Church is good
She’s how we know we’re leading
Christian lives like we should
Food needs salt
Eyes need light
While sailing on the sea
A ship needs her captain
Just the same the Christian life
It needs to thwart sin
The Catholic Church will lead and make it happen
Will lead us to a win!
The Catholic Church is good
And the Catholic Church was first
By the laying on of hands
Christ’s authority traversed
Through all time
Down the line
“I will call you ‘Rock’
And on this rock I build my Church”
Marx said of religion, “Trash opium”
But Christ beget to Peter
The keys to the kingdom
The keys to the kingdom!
The Catholic Church is good
The Catholic Church is best
The Church preserves the culture
Of the Occident
Greece to Rome
To Washington
To those who say the secular
Can save a nation
We will say just how we got
This culture from its nascence
Two thousand years of Christianization
Evangelization!
The Catholic Church is good
The Church she takes her stand
Protecting life and marriage
And the rights of the working man
The sacred path
Of our saints
To follow Christ is
Following his commands
Give water to the thirsty (Love one another)
Visit those in jail (Love God with all your heart)
We educate the yearning (Go and make disciples)
On a massive scale (From near and far)
So, join us on this trail!

Catholic Church Is Good
You have some nice vocal polyphony going toward the end. I would be careful of rushing certain phrases. Some are hard to understand unless one is watching the YouTube subtitles. Don't try to pack too much into a line.
These songs styled as miltary marches and national anthems are similar to parody songs done by Nick Alexander. See https://www.topcatholicsongs.com/nick-alexander-parody-songs

Memory not dim
The lyrics are good
I like this short stanza:
Food needs salt
Eyes need light
Well said!
