[CHORUS]

Everybody in the church body is somebody

And we all got a job to do

From the new suits in the front pew

To the back row muddy boots

Everybody in the church body is somebody

Yeah, that’s me and you

Cuz everybody in the church body

Is somebody God can use

[VERSE]

You won’t find him givin’ Sunday sermons

He’s under a hood from 9 to 5

Doing Kingdom business while he’s workin’

Bringing more than Fords and Chevys back to life

Won’t miss a chance to share the good word

How it washes off your sin like grease

Only know his name cuz it’s on his shirt

But you can take it to the bank the Good Lord sees

[CHORUS]

[VERSE]

She ain’t praying up front Sunday mornin’

But she keeps the devil on his toes

Cuz that sweet ole granny is a warrior

And Heaven sure listens when she dials the throne

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]

From the silver haired senior saint

Saved for 50 years

To the brand-new baptized believer

Still wet behind the ears
