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
