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!
