Lyrics
CHORUS:
I spin my records on a Sunday
Before I get myself to church
I put on my best fit
Your song got me dancing
I cannot wait to get out the door
We’re going to the house of the Lord
VERSE 1:
God through every season
You give me a reason
To see beyond my mistakes
And wash away my old ways
PRE-CHORUS:
Now I’m a living
Testimony of Your grace
God You give me
Purpose for a brand new day
VERSE 2 (RAP):
See on the first day I made mistakes
And on the second day I lost my way
But on the third day I found Your grace
And ever since then ain’t been the same
Ain’t been the same
Ain’t been the same
See I opened up the Word
And everything started changing
Since the beginning when I was running
I was on Your mind despite the life I was
living
CHORUS 2:
I spin my records on a Sunday
Before I get myself to church
I put on my best fit
Your song got me dancing
I cannot wait to get out the door
We’re going to the house of the Lord
We’re going to the house of the Lord
We’re going to the house of the Lord
POST-CHORUS:
I’m gonna run to the sanctuary
I’m gonna go where You set me free
Once I was blind but now I see
So let all the redeemed sing
TAG:
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah Lord

Meaning & Inspiration
House of the Lord celebrates the movement from failure into grace, freedom, and gathered worship. Everyday details about preparing for church give the chorus an eager, joyful tone, while the verses explain the reason for that joy. God is praised for looking beyond mistakes, washing away old ways, and giving fresh purpose. The rap section develops the testimony by describing lost direction followed by an encounter with grace and a life changed through Scripture.
The post-chorus draws on biblical images of redemption and restored sight. Its language recalls the man in John’s Gospel who declares that he was blind and can now see, while the invitation for the redeemed to sing resembles the praise of Psalm 107. The repeated movement toward the sanctuary is therefore more than attendance at a building; it represents gratitude expressed in fellowship and worship. The song joins personal testimony with communal praise, ending in a simple declaration of hallelujah to the Lord.
