I walked into the temple
And I couldn't believe my eyes
The people were buying and selling
Their stocks and merchandise
I overturned the tables
Broke the cages and the chairs
I told them, "You've made this a den of thieves
Instead of My house of prayer"
So I'm just cleaning house
The work is gettin' steady
Cleaning house
For sin I have no pity
Cleaning house
I'm gettin' you ready for the day
(Ready for the day)
The day when we both move out
Now your body is My temple
And day by day I see
The way you treat My dwelling place
With no respect for Me
I refuse to share this house
With cluttered sin and strife
I won't sit back and watch you tear it down
I paid too high a price
So I'm just cleaning house
The work is gettin' steady
Cleaning house
For your sin I have no pity
Cleaning house
I'm gettin' you ready for the day
(Ready for the day)
We'll move out
Cleaning house
The work is gettin' steady
Cleaning house
For sin I have no pity
Cleaning house
I'm gettin' you ready for the day
(Ready for the day)
The day when we both move out
'Cause there'll come a day
When we won't live here anymore
(We won't live here)
A glorified Body so much better than before
But until that day
One thing remains the same
I'm just cleaning house
The work is gettin' steady
Cleaning house
For sin I have no pity
Cleaning house
I'm gettin' you ready for the day
(Ready for the day)
We'll move out
Cleaning house
The work is gettin' steady
Cleaning house
For sin I have no pity
Cleaning house
I'm gettin' you ready for the day
(Ready for the day)
We'll move out
Cleaning house
The work is gettin' steady
Cleaning house
For your sin I have no pity
Cleaning house
I'm gettin' you ready for the day
(Ready for the day)
We'll move out
