How y'all doin'? (Good)
The people have arrived

We don't need a preacher to go to church
We don't need a deacon to hear the word
The love that we been seekin', it's higher than the ceilin'
We don't need a preacher to go to church

Church, mhm
Church, mhm

This is for my people that make up the church
We don't need an altar just to hear the word
Count up all your blessings, it's what you deserve
Your soul, your search, your song, your verse

So shine your light like you got God inside
Most high, divine, an angel by design

Goin' to the rivеr to clean my soul
Shake a little somеthin' to heal my woes
Goin' to the river to clean my soul
Shake a little somethin' to heal my woes

We don't need a preacher to go to church (Uh-huh)
We don't need a deacon to hear the word (Uh-huh)
The love that we been seekin', it's higher than the ceilin'
We don't need a preacher to go to church

This is for my sinners 'cause we all the same
Anything you lost, you can reclaim
He'll cleanse your soul, He'll make you whole
You gotta do right for the riches and gold

So shine your light like you got God inside
Most high, divine, an angel by design

Church, church
Church, mhm
Church, mhm
So shine your light like you've got God inside
Most high, divine, an angel by design

Goin' to the river to clean my soul
Shake a little somethin' to heal my woes
Goin' to the river to clean my soul
Shake a little somethin' to heal my woes
Shake a little somethin' to heal my woes
Heal my woes, heal my woes, heal my woes, heal my woes

We don't need a preacher to go to church
We don't need a deacon to hear the word
The love that we been seekin', it's higher than the ceilin'
We don't need a preacher to go to church

Church, mhm
Church, mhm
Church, mhm
Church, mhm
We don't need a preacher to go to church, hm-mm

Come on, come on
Goin' to the river to clean my soul
We don't need a preacher
Shake a little somethin' to heal my woes
We don't need a preacher to go to church
Shake a little somethin' to heal my woes
Heal my woes
