Verse 1

Brick by brick with stilts and sticks

 you build your empire walls

Trick by trick you punch and kick

untl the other falls

 You primp and press expensive dress

 as if God Himself would be impressed

 that you look your very best

Chorus

So raise up your kingdoms and thrones

 turn the broken and the weak away

God is not in a temple of stone

 He is the outcast of these walls you've made

Verse 2

Lip to lip you lie and quip

 to bring your brother down

 you tear and strip and crack your whip

to twist a thorny crown

 Too proud to share or ever carry

 burdens you refuse to bear

 While you stand afar and stare

Chorus

So raise up your kingdoms and walls

 turn the broken and the weak away

God is not in a temple of stone

 He is the outcast of these walls you've made

Bridge

 So you will be like Jericho

I will sing with a mighty roar

 'Till the walls come down

Final Chorus:

There is a kingdom that loves

 Where the weak are never turned away

God is not in a temple of stone

 He is with the people who cry out His name!
