Build it

January 25, 2013

My father said,

Son, we’re gonna build

A house, and you…you and I

We’re going to build it

Yes, we’re going to build it

Together.

And ours will be fine house,

A place fit for a king

With silver stands and lamps of gold.

The old man said,

Son, we’re gonna live

There forever...you and I

We’re gonna live there

Yes, we’re gonna live there

Forever.

And our ours will be a good house,

A place up standing

With wings outstretched, cherubim of God.

My father said,

Son, I’ve got a plan

A plan, and you… you and I

We’ll figure this out

Yes, we’ll figure this out

Together.

And ours will be a kind home,

A place where we bring

Our friends; our enemies now so old.

And father said,

Son, we’re gonna open

Our hearts, and you…you and I

We’re gonna live there

Yes, we’re gonna live there

Forever.

Son,

Don’t be afraid,

Don’t be dismayed

We’ll do it, you…you and I

We’ll be brave and

Love each other.

Then David said to Solomon his son, “Be strong and courageous and do it. Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed, for the LORD God, even my God, is with you. He will not leave you or forsake you, until all the work for the service of the house of the LORD is finished.

(1 Chronicles 28:20 ESV)
