Lyrics
Featuring Jon Reddick
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
Oh nobody
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
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 that can 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

About This Song
"'If The Lord Builds The House' is a statement for me, a declaration that I'm choosing to live my life with Jesus and on His word. I believe that is a life that leads to peace, joy, and hope all the things that we want in life, especially when we face hardships in trials. I've tried to build my own way in the past and it didn't work out so well. I've made the decision that Jesus gets to be the master in my life. The master of my heart and mind and the way that I live. I believe when He is the one building, nothing and no one can tear it down." -Hope Darst
