How y'all doin'? (Good)
The people have arrived

We don't need a preacher to go to church
We don't need a deacon to hear the word
The love that we've been seekin' is higher than the ceilin'
We don't need a preacher to go to church

Church, hm-mm
Church, hm-mm

This is for my people that make up the church
We don't need an altar just to hear the word
Countin' up all your presence is what you deserve
Your soul, your search, your song, your verse

So shine your light like you got God inside
Most high, divine, an angel by design

Goin' to the river to clean my soul
Shake a little somethin' to heal my woes
Goin' to the river to clean my soul
Shake a little somethin' to heal my woes

We don't need a preacher to go to church
We don't need a deacon to hear the word
The love that we've been seekin' is higher than the ceilin'
We don't need a preacher to go to church

This is for my sinners, 'cause we all the same
Anything you lost, you can reclaim
He'll cleanse your soul, He'll make you whole
You gotta do right for the riches and gold

So shine your light like you got God inside
Most high, divine, an angel by design

Church
Church
Church, hm-mm
Church, hm-mm

So shine your light like you got God inside
Most high, divine, an angel by design

Goin' to the river to clean my soul
Shake a little somethin' to heal my woes
Goin' to the river to clean my soul
Shake a little somethin' to heal my woes
Shake a little somethin' to heal my woes
(Heal my woes, heal my woes, heal my woes, heal my woes)

We don't need a preacher to go to church
We don't need a deacon to hear the word
The love that we've been seekin' is higher than the ceilin'
We don't need a preacher to go to church

Church, hm-mm
Church, hm-mm
Church, hm-mm
Church, hm-mm

(Church, hm-mm) (we don't need a preacher to go to church, hm-mm)
(C'mon, c'mon) (Goin' to the river to clean my soul)
(We don't need a preacher to shake a little somethin' to heal my woes)
(We don't need a preacher to go to church)
(To shake a little somethin' to heal my woes)
(Heal my woes)
