Verse 1
For much too long the church has been
An underdog to the feet of men
God's building a church on the rise
We've been trampled on in the heat of the fight
This church is God's eternal bride
It's almost time for church to fly
God's building a church
Chorus
God's building a church
It's gonna march like a mighty army band
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
Verse 2
On Calvary's tree it started then
He handed it down to the hands of men
God's building a church on the rise
Old satan's about to run in fright
As the saints of God in glorious might
We race across the enemy lines
With holy banners waving high
Chorus
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
Oh whoa-oh-whoa-oh-whoa-oh
Chorus
It's gonna be
Sanctified
Glorified
Filled with the holy ghost's power and might
Purified with fire divine
God's building a church
