I'm a working on building,
I'm a working on building,
I'm a working on building
 E                   A
For my Lord, for my Lord

A
It's a holy ghost building
It's a holy ghost building
It's a holy ghost building
 E                    A
For my Lord, for my Lord

If I was a gambler, I tell you what I'd do
                               E                    A
I'd quit my gambling and I'd work on the building, too

I'm a working on building
I'm a working on building
I'm a working on building
For my Lord, for my Lord

It's a holy ghost building
It's a holy ghost building
It's a holy ghost building
For my Lord, for my Lord

If I was a drunkard I tell you what I would do
I'd quit my drinking and I'd work on the building too

I'm a working on building
I'm a working on building
I'm a working on building
For my Lord, for my Lord

It's a holy ghost building
It's a holy ghost building
It's a holy ghost building
For my Lord, for my Lord

If I was a preacher I tell you what I would do
I would keep on preaching and work on the building too

I'm a working on building
I'm a working on building
I'm a working on building
For my Lord, for my Lord

It's a holy ghost building
It's a holy ghost building
It's a holy ghost building
For my Lord, for my Lord
