Build my home

Build my home in your garden

Plant my seed in your land

Keep me close to the waters

Spare my life from the sinking sand

Far away from the people

Far away from the crowd

Take me back to your presence

where true joy can only be found

Take me back to the beginning

Take me back to the start

To the simple, to the innocent

to the golden noble heart

Oh that beautiful little girl

and the sparkle in her eye

whenever she looked to heaven

overjoyed to be in the presence of the most high!

"What are you looking at?" they asked

"Can't you see" she replied

The beauty of a king sitting upon a throne

Surely he's coming back for his bride!

Clothed in honor and righteousness

with great compassion

he looks down from above

To all his creation

to whom he has paid his son's life

out of sincere and genuine love

There is no greater love than this

to put yourself in a place of another

"What are these wounds in your hands?"

-These I got in the house of my brother

The precious blood of the lamb

was poured to the ground for my sake

The precious blood of the lamb

generously covers my every mistake

He came to rebuild and restore

that which has been broken

He came to fulfill and complete

the prophecies which were spoken

He came to save the lost,

recover sight for the blind

and speak healing over the land

To declare freedom

and deliver the captives

with a strong and mighty hand!

As long as I live

I will surely proclaim

the faithfuness of my loving father

the one who has called me by name

As long as I live

I will point to above

My fears have been silenced

not by might,

but by His perfect love.
