Building Up The TempleWe’re building up the temple, we’re building up the temple,We’re building up the temple for the Lord.Oh, brother won’t you help us, oh sister won’t you help us,We’re building up the temple for the Lord.It’s so high, you can’t get over it, so low you can’t get under it,So wide you can’t get around it.
