For much too long the church has been    an underdog to the feat of men   God's building a church on the rise   We've been trampled on in the heat of the fight   This church has got eternal bright   It's almost time for church to fly   God's building a church (and I'm so glad that...)      Chorus:   God's building a church   It's gonna march like a mighty army man   God's building a church   It'll be water to the dry and barren land   God's building a church   It's gonna rise from a valley of dead dry bones   Sanctified   Glorified   Filled with the holy ghost’s power and might   Purified with fire divine   God's building a church      On Calvary's tree it started there   He handed it down to the hands of men   God's building a church on the rise (and I like this...)   Satan's about to run in fright   As the saints of God in glorious might   We raced across the enemy lines   With holy banners wavin' high      God's building a church   It's going to march like a mighty army man   God's building a church   It'll be water to the dry and barren land   God's building a church   It's gonna rise from a valley of dead dry bones   Sanctified   Glorified   Filled with the holy ghost’s power and might   Purified with fire divine   God's building a church      And it'll be sanctified glorified, sanctified glorified, sanctified glorified   Filled with the holy ghost’s power and might   Purified with fire divine   God's building a church      (Ooooh...)   God's building a church   It's gonna march like a mighty army man   God's building a church   It'll be water to the dry and barren land   God's building a church   It's gonna rise from a valley of dead dry bones   Sanctified   Glorified   Filled with the holy ghost’s power and might   Purified with fire divine   God's building a church      (We're gonna be...)   Santified   Glorified   Filled with the holy ghost's power and might   Purified with fire divine   God's building a church (He's building a church)
