Song: Build Your House
This Book, in itself, has absolutely no value to anyone, except by God's Grace. No Kidding. Only God can Help us out of the jam we've gotten ourselves into. But we can, at least, cooperate with Him! Let's.

Build Your House
Lord, Your house lies desolate
I’m here on my knees
Please show mercy once more to us
See Your peoples’ suffering
Give grace to Your servant
Forgive all our sins
Remember Your promise
Unite us again
Lord, Your hand is upon me
You’ve made a way through my Red Sea
Turned the heart of a King and
Brought us to Your city
But Your enemies mock us
Give strength to these hands
We hold on to Your promise
You’ll unite us again
Chorus:
So we build Your House — strengthen Your wall
Use my hands to see Your enemies fall
And I will praise Your Name, Your People proclaim
You are Lord, You have always been, as we fall on our knees
We will not neglect the Temple of our God
A sword and a trowel
One in each hand
Building Your Kingdom
We’ll protect and defend
Praising Your faithfulness
Obeying Your Word
The only thought of my heart is
Your House, oh, my Lord
(Chorus)
Teach us to love what You love
Teach us to hate what You hate
Drive Your word into our hearts
We will never forsake what You’ve given us
Purifying all that’s unclean
Casting down the idols that we see
Enter our hearts, yes, bless Your house
So that the world may see
You are Lord, You are Lord
