I'm workin' on a building,
I'm workin' on a building,
I'm workin' on a building,
For my Lord, for my Lord.
If I were a drunkard,
Tell you what I'd do,
I'd quit my drinkin',
And work on a building too.
I'm workin' on a building,
I'm workin' on a building,
I'm workin' on a building,
For my Lord, for my Lord.
It'a a Holy Ghost building,
It'a a Holy Ghost building,
It'a a Holy Ghost building,
For my Lord, for my Lord.
If I were a gambler,
Tell you what I'd do,
I'd quit my gamblin',
And I'd work on a building too.
I'm workin' on a building,
I'm workin' on a building,
I'm workin' on a building,
For my Lord, for my Lord.
It'a a Holy Ghost building,
It'a a Holy Ghost building,
It'a a Holy Ghost building,
For my Lord, for my Lord.
If I were a preacher,
Tell you what I'd do,
I'd keep on preachin',
And I'd work on a building too.
I'm workin' on a building,
I'm workin' on a building,
I'm workin' on a building,
For my Lord, for my Lord.
It'a a Holy Ghost building,
It'a a Holy Ghost building,
It'a a Holy Ghost building,
For my Lord, for my Lord.
