What If the Buildings Burn

Our Lord's commission drags
No one's good, no one's bad
The great apostacy
Is so hard to see
The new age has us fooled
We've become the fire's fuel
In our holy temples
Where prosperity's simple

But what if the buildings burn
What if the fire spreads out of control
Will we still love each other
Feel the burden for our brother
What if the buildings burn
What if the skies grow dark from the smoke
Will we then see the needing
Will we bandage the bleeding
If the buildings burn

We tour the mansions of faith
Ooh, are they wonders or a waste
Always seductive sites
Do they divert our eyes
Why all this talk of reward
When the truth is so much more
If we really knew His way
We'd get down on the floor

What if the buildings burn
What if the fire spreads out of control
Will we still love each other
Feel a burden for our brother
What if the buildings burn
What if the skies grow dark from the smoke
Will we then see the needing
Will we bandage the bleeding
If the buildings burn

Do we really think that creating greater kingdoms
Helps the God we say is in us appear
Ooh, we might do well to light the fires ourselves
The insurance could feed the world for years

What if the buildings burn
What if the fire spreads out of control
Will we still love each other
Feel the burden for our brother
What if the buildings burn
What if the skies grow dark from the smoke
Will we then see the needing
Will we bandage the bleeding
If the buildings burn
