Buddy Greene - Jesus Has Left the Building Lyrics

There's a big crowd gathered at First Church
They're dressed up and lookin' so fine
They lean forward in their pews to hear the good news
And get a handle on God's design
But outside the need just keeps getting greater
In a sick old world, tired and sore
Back inside they give praise, but God must be amazed
When they don't look beyond that door. Because...

Jesus has left the building
He's back out on the street
He's busy dealing His mercy
To every hurting soul He meets.

He's out helping the homeless find shelter
He's out helping the jobless find work
He's donating His time to the feeble of mind
And for this some people think He's berserk
But He's just helping the helpless find justice
And mercy in a cold, cruel world
You see, His heart aches for all kinds of people
For every man, woman, boy, and girl
And that's why...

Chorus

He meets with His saints on Sunday
To remind us of all He has done
To save us from our place of suffering
To let us know He is the One
Who has shone His light into our darkness
And given us all of His blessings so we
Can be blessings to the ones
Who need to know God's only Son
Is in the business of setting people free. And, that's why..

Chorus

Back inside some people just keep on waiting
And prayin' that He would come down
But Jesus has left the building
He's out spreading His love all around.
