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
