[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
