If The Lord Builds the House

I've built up my own name
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

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

The bricks may be weathered
Through storm and through fire
But what God holds together
It stands firm every time
Cause my life is anchored
On this solid truth
That whatever God's building
No, it can't be moved

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

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

Here's the keys
Won't You come on in
Everything we have is Yours

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
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

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

I said if the Lord builds the house
Nobody can tear it down
