The Court of the Gentiles

Lyrics

The court of the Gentiles looked more like a stable Than it did a holy place They were sellin' their wares, cheatin' one another Made a mockery out of His grace But Jesus made a whip in His holy anger His power filled the air He turned over tables and scattered their money And said, "It's a place of prayer" They were bitter and angry as the struggled out Wondering just what they had seen Deep down inside them, the worry and doubt For some was about to end For the weapon He used was a whip of Love He made to set 'em free With every blow on their backs of pride Their eyes began to see Then He lifted His hands and said "My house will be a house of prayer So that all of the nations And all of the people Will know if you've been there" The sting from the whip on their backs is now gone But still, they remember His face The power that came every time He spoke There was nothin' to do but obey Never had they seen such a holy man Who said he was the Son of God The words He spoke, like a sword of strength Drove the wickedness out He lifted His hands and said "My house will be a house of prayer So that all of the nations And all of the people Will know if you've been there" He lifted His hands and said "My house will be a house of prayer So that all of the nations And all of the people Will know if you've been there" He lifted His hands and said "My house will be a house of prayer So that all of the nations And all of the people Will know if you've been there" He lifted His hands and said "My house will be a house of prayer So that all of the nations And all of the people Will know if you've been there" They will know, they will know Know if you've been there They will know, they will know Know if you've been there They will know, they will know Know if you've been there
