Build Your House

We want to build the house of God
We want to be all You've made us to be
To live as children of promise, to fulfill our destiny
We want to be a house of mercy
To love the lost and the broken and poor
Increase our love for each other and bless our unity, Lord
Train us to be a mighty army
Standing shoulder to shoulder, as one
Filled with the power of your Spirit, standing on the Word of God
We are a church of the nations
As we reach out to the ends of the earth
Taking the light of Your gospel, making disciples of Christ
Build Your house, O God, let Your will be done
Build Your house, O God, let Your kingdom come
Lord, fill our lives with Your passion
And fill this house with the worship of God
A fragrance lifted to heaven, an offering pleasing to You
Make this a gateway to heaven
Where the people come in and declare,
"Surely God is among you, surely God is in this place!"
