From the recording Living on a Volcano
Lyrics
Victory Church
Overalls all caked in paint
Elvin’s helping out ‘till late
you know he’s married
but he swears he ain’t
he’s dropping off a box of toys
for the poor kids, girls and boys
we’re meeting at the Victory church tonight
Well it’s people helping people
down at the Victory Church
it’s people helping people
wherever you may search
It’s people helping people
grab your hammer and your nails
we’re building this house and
together we can’t fail
Now say hello to Pastor Jim
and his little brother Tim
now we don’t say it,
but Jim don’t look like Tim
we’ll gonna read a little Bible verse
come on open up that purse
we’re meeting at the victory church tonight
Well it’s people helping people
down at the Victory Church
it’s people helping people
wherever you may search
It’s people helping people
grab your hammer and your nails
we’re building this house and
together we can’t fail
Now most folks we don’t have that much
we know better, it’s just
everyone can give
and this world is such
tonight it’s meatloaf and peas
everyone gets some, even the least of these
we’re meeting at the victory church tonight
Well it’s people helping people
down at the Victory Church
it’s people helping people
wherever you may search
It’s people helping people
grab your hammer and your nails
we’re building this house and
together we can’t fail
Now I stand before you tonight
a righteous sinner, man’s that’s right
head full of trouble
a hard battle to fight
but I’m headed to the surplus store
50 mouths to feed, maybe more
we’re meeting at the Victory church tonight
Well it’s people helping people…
