Lyrics

BUIILD MY HOUSE PS.127:1, 1CO.3:5-15

EXCEPT THE LORD BUILD THE HOUSE
ALL YOUR LABORS ARE IN VAIN
THE WORKS OF MAN I'LL TRY BY FIRE
AND WHAT COMES FORTH SHALL BE AS GOLD
IT SHALL REMAIN, FOR ALL TIME

ONE MAN SOWS ANOTHER GATHERS
BUT WHAT COMES FORTH IS ALL THAT MATTERS
GIFTS AND CALLINGS FOR REVELATION
MEN OF GRACE SHALL LEAD AGAIN
AND IT SHALL BE, FOR ALL TIME

WOOD, HAY, AND STUBBLE, WILL YOUR WORKS REMAIN?
OR WILL THEY BURN IN THE FIRE?
GOLD, AND PRECIOUS METALS ARE YOUR WORKS DONE IN ME?
WHEN WILL YOU BUILD BY MY PLAN?
OVER AND OVER AGAIN I KEEP TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO
OVER AND OVER AGAIN I KEEP TELLING YOU WHAT TO DO
WHO WILL BUILD, WHO WILL BUILD, WHO WILL BUILD MY HOUSE?
WHO WILL BUILD, WHO WILL BUILD, WHO WILL BUILD MY HOUSE?

WHO WILL BUILD MY HOUSE?
WHO WILL BE MY HANDS?
WHO WILL BUILD MY HOUSE?
AND WILL IT STAND?

A SEPARATION BY MY SPIRIT
A BODY PREPARED FOR ME
A HOLY NATION OF RIGHTEOUS PEOPLE
A HOUSE CREATED IN ME
AND IT SHALL STAND, FOR ALL TIME

TONGUES OF FIRE HEARTS AFLAME
NOT COLD BUT HOT THEY HONOR MY NAME
LIVELY STONES ALL SET IN ORDER
A TEMPLE BUILT THE WORK OF MY HANDS
AND IT SHALL LAST, FOR ALL TIME
