god's building a church lyrics

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)
