[Intro]
Coins on the stone, dust in the air
A holy place, but the merchants were there
[Verse 1]
He walked through the gate and the courtyard was loud
Goats in the corner, deals in the crowd
Tables of silver, cages in a row
Prayer got buried under profit and show
He saw every bargain, every crooked exchange
A house meant for healing turned cold and strange
No throne, no army, no banner unfurled
Just fire in His eyes for the weight of the world
[Pre-Chorus]
You made a market where the broken should pray
So watch what happens when the truth enters the space
[Chorus]
Flip the tables, let the coins fall down
Drive out the greed from the sacred ground
No more buying what mercy gives free
You turned a house of prayer into a den of thieves
Flip the tables, hear the whole room shake
Righteous anger for the people’s sake
When the holy gets sold for a name and a fee
The King stands up—make room for peace
[Verse 2]
Doves took flight when the cords came loose
Every false little throne had to face the truth
He would not bless what was built on the poor
Would not let a price tag hang on the door
The leaders watched with their hands held tight
But the children cried praise in the afternoon light
The blind found a path, the hurting drew near
While pride lost its grip in the presence of fear
[Pre-Chorus]
You made a market where the broken should pray
So watch what happens when the truth enters the space
[Chorus]
Flip the tables, let the coins fall down
Drive out the greed from the sacred ground
No more buying what mercy gives free
You turned a house of prayer into a den of thieves
Flip the tables, hear the whole room shake
Righteous anger for the people’s sake
When the holy gets sold for a name and a fee
The King stands up—make room for peace
[Bridge]
Not rage for rage, not power for pride
A cleansing fire with the poor inside
If your hands built walls around grace
Truth will tear every wall from its place
[Final Chorus]
Flip the tables, let the coins fall down
Drive out the greed from the sacred ground
No more buying what mercy gives free
You turned a house of prayer into a den of thieves
Flip the tables, hear the whole room shake
Righteous anger for the people’s sake
When the holy gets sold for a name and a fee
The King stands up—make room for peace
[Outro]
Coins on the stone, silence in the air
A house for the Father, open to prayer
