Way back when the church was young,
in the day of Pentecost
There were a few good men
goin' round the land
preachin' Jesus to the lost
They came from different places,
different walks of life
They didn't have no denomination
They just called themselves
the Body of Christ
There's a lot of good people
who love the Lord
Living in the world today
They want to bring the wondrous in
But somehow we've lost our way
We need to reach out to our brothers
And take our violence off the shelf
And put our differences aside
And stop fighting amongst
ourselves
We're still sitting around here
fussing with each other
But while the lost and dying world
is going to hell
Just put your hand in my hand
We've been fighting long
enough
Let's get on down to God's business
The business of love
Yes, the business of love
Some like the music quiet
Some like the music loud
Some people sit and listen
Some people dance around
Just look up at the rainbow
That God put in the sky
He uses all of the colors
To make the light in His love shine
We're still sittin' around here
Pussin' with each other
While a lost and dyin' world
Is goin' to hell
Just put your hand in my hand,
we've been fighting long
enough
Let's get on down to God's business,
the business of love
Yes, the business of love
We're still sittin' around here
fussin' with each other
While the lost and dyin' world
is goin' to hell
Just put your hand in my hand
We've been fighting long
enough
Let's get on down to God's
business of love
Business of love
Yes, the business of
love
Down to God's business
Down to God's business
Down to God's business
Put your hand in my hand,
we've been fighting
long enough
And let's get on down to
God's business,
the business of love
Yes, the business of love
Yes, the business of love
