Lyrics:

On any given Sunday
The saints are in the pews
They sing their songs 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
In some worn-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 ain't a lot of shouting Much less suits and ties
Cheap coffee and the smell of smoke
Some coming off a high
"Hello, my name is so-and-so"
"Hello, we're glad you came"
And just like that, this worn-out 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 In some worn-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

If you've never seen a miracle can tell you where they meet I know at least a dozen
And you know one now
'Cause you know me

On any given Thursday nightdown a creaky flight of stairs
Through a door that never shuts just right
In some worn-out folding chairs
There's a different kind of desperate
Most folks never see
And if you think what happens upstairs is amazing

Yeah, 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
