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
Ooh
The bricks may be weathered (yeah)
Through storm and through fire (fire)
Uh, but what God holds together (yeah)
It stands firm every time (every time, oh)
'Cause my life is anchored
On this solid truth (anchored on the truth)
That whatever God's building (build)
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 (ooh)
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, 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 gonna shake this ground (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
