Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh
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 (Jesus)
And told us He was enough
Now it's me on my knees with my own family, ah (ooh)
And I'm praying the same things
That love's gonna make us brave
Pain'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 a 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
Oh, 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 (say)
Gonna read 'em 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 givin' us good things
Love's gonna make us brave
Pain'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 a 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, oh-oh
The Lord's gonna build this house
And move on in (move on in)
Move on in (move on in)
Move on in (move)
The Lord's gonna build this house
And move on in
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) ooh-ooh-ooh
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) ooh-ooh
(Ooh-ooh-ooh) ooh-ooh
When the Lord build's the house
Ain't no tearing it down
We done found solid ground, solid ground
(As for me) as for me, and my house (me and my house)
We know what it's about
We believe it no doubt, no doubt
(When the Lord) when the Lord build's the house (builds)
Ain't no tearing it down (no)
We done found solid ground, solid ground
(As for me) as for me and my house (me and my house)
We know what it's about (it's about you)
We believe it, no doubt, yeah
Love's gonna make us brave
Pain'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 a 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
Move on in
The Lord's gonna build this house
And move on in
