I Would Rather Be a Doorkeeper In the House of My God
I..
I
I... I would rather be a doorkeeper
In the house of my God
I would rather be a doorkeeper
In the house of my God
Than to pull the tail of an of a rapid diseased dog;
Be a doorkeeper, Greet all the sinless people;
Praise the Lord
Covet not, rooms of sins;
Remember what you've been taught
And what ya should believe in;
Mansions of deployed decay set in;
Pestilence, violent house of despair;
no one worthy, worthy
no one cares
I would rather be a doorkeeper
In the house of my God
I would rather be a doorkeeper
In the house of my God
Than to pull the tail of an of a rapid diseased dog;
Be a doorkeeper, Greet all the sinless people;
Praise the Lord
Romans just being kind;
Corinthian Paul has said
NO room for disorder;
No room for sin
Hand me that brush so that I may paint a blessing;
I am not enticed by your dissension, oh did I mention. . .
I would rather be a doorkeeper
In the house of my God
I would rather be a doorkeeper
In the house of my God
Than to pull the tail of an of a rapid diseased dog;
Be a doorkeeper, Greet all the sinless people;
Praise the Lord
Holes in the foundations;
House sinking fast
Flood is filling waters coming up to the windows
While your sipping on your flask
you look all around you and no one, no one worthy no one cares;
Romans just being kind;
Corinthian Paul has said
NO room for disorder;
No room for sin
Hand me that brush so that I may paint a blessing;
I am not enticed by your dissension, oh did I mention. . .
I..
I
I... I would rather be a doorkeeper
In the house of my God
I would rather be a doorkeeper
In the house of my God
Than to pull the tail of an of a rapid diseased dog;
Be a doorkeeper, Greet all the sinless people;
Praise the Lord
