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
