Lyrics

[Intro]

I'm workin' on a buildin'

I'm workin' on a buildin'

I'm workin' on a buildin'

For my Lord, for my Lord

The Reverend Leslie Jordan

[Verse 1]

If I was a liar

I tell you what I'd do

I think I'd quit my lyin' (Yes, Lord)

And work on a buildin', too

[Chorus]

I'm a-workin' on a buildin'

I'm workin' on a buildin'

I'm workin' on a buildin'

For my Lord, for my Lord

It's a Holy Ghost buildin'

It's a Holy Ghost buildin'

It's a Holy Ghost buildin'

For my Lord, for my Lord

[PostChorus]

Give me a go at that banjo

[Instrumental]

Woo, Charlie Worsham

[Verse 2]

Well, if I was a drunkard (I was)

I tell you what I'd do

It'd be hard, but I'd try to quit drinkin' (Come on, now)

And work on a buildin', too

[Chorus]

I'm workin' on a buildin'

I'm workin' on a buildin'

I'm workin' on a buildin'

For my Lord, for my Lord

It's a Holy Ghost buildin'

It's a Holy Ghost buildin' (Hallelujah)

It's a Holy Ghost buildin'

For my Lord, for my Lord

[PostChorus]

Oh, we swingin' that gospel hammer

[Instrumental]

If I's a hunker downer (Preach)

I tell you what I'd do (What would you do?)

Honey, I'd hunker right on down

To get to work on a buildin', too

[Chorus]

I'm workin' on a buildin'

I'm workin' on a buildin'

I'm workin' on a buildin'

For my Lord, for my Lord

It's a Holy Ghost buildin'

It's a Holy Ghost buildin' (Hallelujah)

It's a Holy Ghost buildin'

For my Lord, for my Lord

[PostChorus]

I'm fixin' to twirl

That's nice, Leslie

'Round and 'round I go

Watch me, Daddy, watch me twirl

Watch him twirl, Daddy

Sister Ashley McBryde

[Verse 3]

Well, if I was a judger (Woo)

If I, if I

I tell you what I'd do (Listen, Jesus)

I'd dare to quit my judgin'

And work on a buildin', too

[Chorus]

I'm workin' on a buildin'

I'm workin' on a buildin'

I'm workin' on a buildin'

For my Lord, for my Lord

It's a Holy Ghost buildin'

It's a Holy Ghost buildin' (Hallelujah)

It's a Holy Ghost buildin'

For my Lord, for my Lord

[Verse 4]

I'm workin' on a buildin'

For my Lord, for my Lord

[Outro]

Yes, Lord (Oh-oh)

That was nice

You bet your sweet by-and-by it was (Hahaha)
