I built my house On the rock of believing Thankfully receiving The gift that's given me I built my house As an offering for living Swore in the building It's slave I'll never be I built my house Oh I know, oh I know Life is coming after me Oh I know, oh I know Love is coming for me I built my house From a thousand different journeys The faces and the singing And the joy I came to know I built my house In the angles I imagined With the tools I could fathom And learned to love it so I built my house Oh I know, oh I know I built my house On a hill above the water Where the southern sun can find me And wake me from the dark I built my house For the mercy of the morning The light of the dawning The beating in my heart I built my house Oh I know, oh I know Life is coming after me Oh I know, oh I know Love is coming for me
