So watch us turn this place into a sanctuary

Living for Christ and we shout it
Who are y’all clowning God is astounding
But they can’t see it they vision is cloudy
So uh what we gon do bout that

Serving the Lord and you know we obey

If we outside (Then we go in)
If we inside (Then we go in)
Hold up cause we are the saints
And everything we are got the Lord to thank
And everything we ain’t we’re being sanctified
He fighting on our side like an army tank
Need I say that we are the church
But in Spanish iglesia
In the hood they say church people
But in the Greek it says Ecclesial
And where we are the Spirit is holy one’s household of faith
We bear the marks of the card intellect by the Good Shepherd that’s a heavy weight
But as it relates to life and Godliness boy we got the royal flush
Wasn’t offered like often Anne
He upped the auntie and adopted us
I’m bout to work myself into a frenzy
God is in me contending I’m about to bust
Turn a prison cell to a sanctuary
Paul Silas lock us up

Hands hands all I see is hands
The saints is in the building
We warned them in advance
And we ain’t going nowhere
We praise him cause it’s necessary
So watch us turn this place into a sanctuary

Hands hands hands
Let me see them hands hands hands
Let me see them hands hands hands
Let me see them
So watch us turn this place into a sanctuary

So what we gon do right now what we gon do right now (Huh)
What we gon do right now what we bout to do right now (Whoo)
So what we gon do right now what we gon do right now
So watch us turn this place into a sanctuary

Hands hands hands
Let me see them hands hands hands
Let me see them hands hands hands




Let me see them
So watch us turn this place into a sanctuary
