the basement

On any given Sunday, the saints are in the put They sing a song and say amen as the preacher brings good news They gather 'round the altar and call on Jesus name He never fails to meet them there, lives are always changed But on any given Thursday night down a creaky flight of stairs Through a door that never shuts just right and someone out folding chairs There's a different kind of desperate most folks never see And if you think what happens upstairs is amazing Wait until you see what he's been doing in the basement There in a lot of shouting, much less suits and ties Cheap coffee and smell of smoke, some common off and high Hello, my name is so-and-so, hello, I'm glad you came And just like that, this our one-night room becomes a holy place 'Cause on any given Thursday night down a creaky flight of stairs Through a door that never shuts just right and someone out folding chairs There's a different kind of desperate most folks never see And if you think what happens upstairs is amazing Wait until you see what he's been doing in the basement Oh, oh, if you never seen a miracle, I can tell you every need I know it leads to doors, and you don't want 'em 'Cause you don't know On any given Thursday night down a creaky flight of stairs Through a door that never shut just right in someone out folding chairs There's a different kind of desperate most folks never see And if you think what happens upstairs is amazing And we all know what happens upstairs is amazing But wait until you see what he's been doing in the basement What he's doing in the basement
