Tried it by the book over and over
Hoping that things would change
Heard a voice in the Spirit
Saying you can't hear Me directly for yourself
But just call out His name

When I look back over my story
God has been there every step of the way

If there was no buildings, church on a hill
I'd still be connected 'cause I know my God is real
If there were no words written on a page
Whatever way He'd see fit, He still gon' make a way
It's a relationship more than religion that gets us saved

Been in church all these years and we learn tradition
Showing a form of God but we lost sight of the mission
No matter who you are, God is listening
When you call on His name, He'll give you direction

As we look back over our story
We can say, "God did it for me"

If there was no buildings, church on a hill
I'd still be connected 'cause I know my God is real
If there were no words written on a page
Whatever way He sees fit, He still gon' make a way
It's a relationship more than religion that gets us saved
It's not about religion
It's more about relationship
I don't know what you're carrying
But I know He is real

It's not about religion
It's more about relationship
I don't know what you're carrying but I know
He's real

It's not about religion
It's more about relationship
Mm
Let's focus on what really matters to You

It's not about religion
Ooh Lord
It's more about relationship
All you gotta do is call on Him

He will
He'll be right there
He'll be right there
When you need Him most
Oh
It's about you talking to Him
And Him talking to You
Whatever you need from the Lord
It's all in the relationship
He cares about you
Oh, don't you want to be connected?
When you're home alone
And nobody's there
Know God sees you, He loves you, and He cares

It's not about the building
It's not about the pews
He wants you
He wants a personal relationship with you, yeah

If there was no building, church on a hill
I know, I know, I know my God is real
If there were no words written on a page
It's your relationship more than religion
