The House You're Building

BEFORE PRESSING PLAY READ THE FOLLOWING: Make sure to read lyrics along. This song speaks about how sometimes we feel we don't belong somehow. We're tired of running around aimlessly sometimes and we yearn for a place where we can rest from pressures of work, school, etc, from feeling the need to fit in with everyone, or from just trying to live up to certain standards or expectations. We get caught up in trying to build our own dreams and careers, and so forth. It wears us out. Well, good news, is God has a place of rest for us, a place that we can call home... a place with Him who cares for us and reminds us how his love exceeds everything else and as long as we're with him, we're right where we truly belong. Hope this song encourages you, like it has encouraged me.

"The House You're Building"

Yeah these are old shoes that I've been walking in
I'm wearing weary like it's a second skin
I've been looking for a place to lay my head

All this time like a vagabond
A homeless stranger
I've been wandering
All my life you've been calling me
To a home you know I've been needing

I'm a broken stone
So lay me in the house you're building
(Yeah for me)

You are a shelter for every misfit soul
We are the four walls and you're the cornerstone
You are
And you're the solid rock that we are built upon

And all this time like a vagabond
A homeless stranger
I've been wandering
And all my life you've been calling me
To a home you know that I've been needing

I'm a broken stone
So lay me in the house you're building

'Cause in you I find my meaning, yeah
And in you I find my beauty

All this time like a vagabond
A homeless stranger
I've been wandering
All my life you've been calling me
To a home you know I've been needing

All this time like a vagabond
A homeless stranger
I've been wandering
All my life you've been calling me
To a home you know I've been needing
I'm a broken stone
So lay me in the house you're building

Lay me in the house you're building
In the house you're building
