Lyrics
Well if I was a sinner
Expressing a hypothetical situation of being a sinner
I tell you what I would do
Speculating actions to rectify sinning
Well I would quit my sinning
Decision to cease sinful behavior
I’d go work on a building too
Transitioning to engage in spiritual labor
I’ve been working on a building (Repeat x 3)
Repetition of engagement in building
For my Lord for my Lord
Commitment to this labor for the divine
It's a holy ghost building
Characterizing the building as spiritually significant
It's a holy ghost building (hallelujah)
Celebrating the spiritual nature of the building (hallelujah)
It's a holy ghost building
Reiteration of the building's spiritual essence
For my Lord for my Lord
-Well if I was a gambler
Exploring hypothetical scenarios (gambler, drunkard, preacher)
I tell you what I would do
Speculating actions to amend behavior
Well I would quit my gambling
Decision to cease specific behaviors
and go work on a building too
Transitioning to engage in spiritual labor
I’ve been working on a building (Repeat x 3)
-For my Lord for my Lord
-It's a holy ghost building
-It's a holy ghost building (hallelujah)
-It's a holy ghost building
-For my Lord for my Lord
-Well if I was a drunkard
-I tell you what I would do
-Well I would quit my drinking
-and go work on a building too
-I’ve been working on a building (Repeat x 3)
-For my Lord for my Lord
-It's a holy ghost building
-It's a holy ghost building (hallelujah)
-It's a holy ghost building
-For my Lord for my Lord
-If I was a preacher
-Tell you what I would do
-I would keep on preaching
-And go work on a building too.
-I’ve been working on a building (Repeat x 3)
Emphasizing the dedication to the Lord
For my Lord for my Lord
-It's a holy ghost building
-It's a holy ghost building (hallelujah)
-It's a holy ghost building
-For my Lord for my Lord
