Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

This body of mine is his temple
His home away from home
I must keep it spotless, for him
It must stay ready for his coming
Swept clean with truth and love
That's why sin doesn't leave here anymore

We can't afford to let sin reign in our mortal bodies, to obey the lust they have.
Our bodies are the only temple
That the holy spirit can dwell in
Until Jesus comes back, and he said
"Behold i come quickly and my reward is
With me to give every man according
As his wish shall be" and
His coming back and every eye shall see him and everytongue must confess
That he's Lord of Lords and he's King of Kings
And he reigns forever more...

Sin doesn't live here anymore
Sin doesn't live here anymore
God's temple, oh it must be holy
I must stay ready to greet him
That's why sin doesn't live here anymore

Sin doesn't live here anymore
Sin doesn't live here anymore
God's temple, oh it must be holy
I must stay ready to greet him
That's why sin doesn't live here anymore...
