[Evvie McKinney - This House lyrics]
I can still remember
My momma on her knees
First thing in the morning
She was praying for me
We didn't have much money
But we were rich in love
She taught us 'bout Jesus
And told us He was enough
Now it's me
On my knees
For my own family
And I'm praying the same things (that)
Love's gonna make us brave
Faith's gonna make us strong
Joy's gonna give us peace
And peace gonna be our song
The word will be our light
And grace will be our friend
The Lord's gonna build this house
The Lord's gonna build this house
And the Spirit's gonna move on in
Move on in
Move on in
The Lord's gonna build this house
And move on in
Gonna show our children
How to walk in the way
Tell 'em it doesn't matter
What the world's gonna say
Gonna read them the Bible
Gonna sing the songs
Gonna lean on forgiveness
When we all get it wrong
And we'll be
On our knees
Before our King
'Cause He's giving us good things
Love's gonna make us brave
Faith's gonna make us strong
Joy's gonna give us peace
And peace gonna be our song
The word will be our light
And grace will be our friend
The Lord's gonna build this house
The Lord's gonna build this house
And the Spirit's gonna move on in
Move on in
Move on in
The Lord's gonna build this house
And move on in
Move on in
Move on in
The Lord's gonna build this house
And move on in
When the Lord builds a house
Ain't no tearing it down
We done found solid ground, solid ground
As for me and my house
We know what it's about
We believe it, no doubt, no doubt
When the Lord builds a house
Ain't no tearing it down
We done found solid ground, solid ground
As for me and my house
We know what it's about
We believe it, no doubt
Love's gonna make us brave
Faith's gonna make us strong
Joy's gonna give us peace
And peace gonna be our song
The word will be our light
And grace will be our friend
The Lord's gonna build this house
The Lord's gonna build this house
And the Spirit's gonna move on in
Move on in
Move on in
The Lord's gonna build this house
And move on in
My momma on her knees
First thing in the morning
She was praying for me
We didn't have much money
But we were rich in love
She taught us 'bout Jesus
And told us He was enough
Now it's me
On my knees
For my own family
And I'm praying the same things (that)
Love's gonna make us brave
Faith's gonna make us strong
Joy's gonna give us peace
And peace gonna be our song
The word will be our light
And grace will be our friend
The Lord's gonna build this house
The Lord's gonna build this house
And the Spirit's gonna move on in
Move on in
Move on in
The Lord's gonna build this house
And move on in
Gonna show our children
