Touch Jesus Songs - A House For My Lord

I Will Build A House For My Lord

I will build a house for my Lord,
Where we both can live in one accord.
Walls of many colors so fair
Embrace a firm foundation of prayer.

I will keep the door with great care.
No evil, unclean thing can enter there.
The talents and the gifts that He gave
Make the rafters ring with sweetest praise.

Chorus:
I will build a house for my Lord,
Where we both can live in one accord.
It will be a house built on prayer.
And everyone in need is welcome there.

We can bring our problems and our needs,
And lay them all down at Jesus' feet.
When we share the reasons we came,
We ask them to be done in Jesus' name.

Our prayers are like a perfume in the air.
God breathes in each time we say a prayer.
We can make His house smell so good
With a house of prayer in every neighborhood.

"....know ye not that your body is the temple of the
Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God,
and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a
price: therefore glorify God in your body , and in
your spirit, which are God's.
I Cor. 6:19-20
