[Intro]
N.C.
I'm workin' on a buildin’, I'm workin' on a buildin’,
I'm workin' on a buildin’, for my Lord, for my Lord.    G  
[Verse]
If GI were a drunkard, tell you what I'd do,
I'd quit my drinkin', and Dwork on a buildin’ Gtoo.  
[Chorus]
GI'm workin' on a buildin’, I'm workin' on a buildin’,
I'm workin' on a buildin’, Dfor my Lord, for my GLord.
It's a Holy Ghost buildin’, it's a Holy Ghost buildin’,
It's a Holy Ghost buildin’, Dfor my Lord, for my GLord. 
[Verse]
If GI were a gambler, tell you what I'd do,
Well, I'd quit my gamblin', and I'd Dwork on a buildin’ Gtoo. 
[Chorus]
GI'm workin' on a buildin’, I'm workin' on a buildin’,
I'm workin' on a buildin’, Dfor my Lord, for my GLord.
It's a Holy Ghost buildin’, it's a Holy Ghost buildin’,
It's a Holy Ghost buildin’, Dfor my Lord, for my GLord.    
[Verse]
If GI were a preacher, tell you what I'd do,
I'd keep on preachin', and I'd Dwork on a buildin’ Gtoo.   
[Chorus] x3 
GI'm workin' on a buildin’, I'm workin' on a buildin’,
I'm workin' on a buildin’, Dfor my Lord, for my GLord.
It's a Holy Ghost buildin’, it's a Holy Ghost buildin’,
It's a Holy Ghost buildin’, Dfor my Lord, for my GLord.
