Temple Clean Up

Verse 1: Inna Jerusalem's heart, where trade an' commerce thrive, A house of prayer turn into a market, where people come to buy. But Jus' walk in an' take control, wi' a fierce an' mighty stride, An' drive out dem wickedness, dat de temple can't hide. Chorus: Cleanse de temple! Cleanse de temple! Make it holy, make it pure, like a river's gentle melody. Not a marketplace, but a house of prayer, Where people come to seek God, an' leave worries an' care. Verse 2: Dem sellin' doves an' sheep, dem buyin' incense an' fine cloth, But Jus' say it loud an' clear, dat dis is a holy spot. No more trade, no more commerce, but prayer an' praise, Dat's what de temple meant to be, from its very foundation days. Chorus: Cleanse de temple! Cleanse de temple! Make it holy, make it pure, like a river's gentle melody. Not a marketplace, but a house of prayer, Where people come to seek God, an' leave worries an' care. Bridge: Chief priests an' scribes plot against Jus', 'cause dem upset an' mad, Dem think dat Jesus mean trouble, dat dem temple trade is bad. But Jus' not afraid, no sir, Jus' stand up tall an' true, An' say dat de temple belong to God, an' not a human crew. Chorus: Cleanse de temple! Cleanse de temple! Make it holy, make it pure, like a river's gentle melody. Not a marketplace, but a house of prayer, Where people come to seek God, an' leave worries an' care. Outro: So let we heed de lesson, of dis cleansing of the temple door, An' keep our hearts an' homes holy, like never before. Fi God is a spirit, dat's everywhere, An' dem want us to come close, wi' love an' prayer.
