On any given Sunday, the saints are in the put

They sing a song and say amen as the preacher brings good news

They gather 'round the altar and call on Jesus name

He never fails to meet them there, lives are always changed

But on any given Thursday night down a creaky flight of stairs

Through a door that never shuts just right and someone out folding chairs

There's a different kind of desperate most folks never see

And if you think what happens upstairs is amazing

Wait until you see what he's been doing in the basement

There in a lot of shouting, much less suits and ties

Cheap coffee and smell of smoke, some common off and high

Hello, my name is so-and-so, hello, I'm glad you came

And just like that, this our one-night room becomes a holy place

'Cause on any given Thursday night down a creaky flight of stairs

Through a door that never shuts just right and someone out folding chairs

There's a different kind of desperate most folks never see

And if you think what happens upstairs is amazing

Wait until you see what he's been doing in the basement

Oh, oh, if you never seen a miracle, I can tell you every need

I know it leads to doors, and you don't want 'em

'Cause you don't know

On any given Thursday night down a creaky flight of stairs

Through a door that never shut just right in someone out folding chairs

There's a different kind of desperate most folks never see

And if you think what happens upstairs is amazing

And we all know what happens upstairs is amazing

But wait until you see what he's been doing in the basement

What he's doing in the basement
