If The Lord Builds The House
[Verse 1]
I've built up my own gate, but the walls couldn't stand
I've trusted my own strength but it was sinking sand
So I put my ruins into Your hands
And watch You restore them like only You can

[Chorus]
'Cause if the Lord builds the house, nobody can tear it down
If the Lord builds the house, nobody can tear it down
When it's built on His name, there's nothing gonna shake this ground
If the Lord builds the house, nobody can tear it down, woo

[Verse 2]
The bricks may be weathered (Weathered)
Through storm and through fire (Fire)
But what God holds together ('Gether)
It stands firm еvery time (Every timе, oh)
'Cause my life is anchored
On this solid truth (This solid truth)
That whatever God's building (Building)
No, it can't be moved (It can't be moved)

[Chorus]
'Cause if the Lord builds the house, nobody can tear it down
If the Lord builds the house, nobody can tear it down
When it's built on His name, there's nothing gonna shake this ground
If the Lord builds the house, nobody can tear it down, oh, nobody
[Bridge]
As for me and my house, we're gonna serve You, Lord
So here's the keys, come on in, everything we have is Yours
As for me and my house, we're gonna serve You, Lord
So here's the keys, come on in, everything we have is Yours, oh
Here's the keys, won't You come on in, everything we have is Yours

[Chorus]
If the Lord builds the house, nobody can tear it down (Nobody can tear it down)
If the Lord builds the house, nobody can tear it down (Nobody can tear it down)
When it's built on His name, there's nothing gonna shake this ground
If the Lord builds the house, nobody can tear it down, oh
If the Lord builds the house, nobody can tear it down
If the Lord builds the house, nobody can tear it down
When it's built on His name, there's nothing that can shake this ground
If the Lord builds the house, nobody can tear it down

[Outro]
Said, if the Lord builds the house, nobody can tear it down
