| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| It’s gonna be |
| Sanctified |
| Glorified |
| Filled with the holy ghost’s power and might |
| Purified with fire divine |
| God’s building a church |
