Music Monday: Build This House

Here’s a blast from the past, a song from my university days around the time I started to encounter God in a new way. Today’s song is “Build This House” with Lou Fellingham:

All I have and all I am is Yours
There’s nothing that I have on earth
That doesn’t come from You
I lay aside my pride and worldly worth
To serve You is the greatest
Thing that I could ever do

For unless You build this house
I am building it in vain
Unless the work is Yours
There is nothing to be gained
I want something that will stand
When Your holy fire comes
Something that will last
And to hear You say well done
Giving glory to You Lord
Glory to You Lord

So easy to desire what others have
Instead of seeing all the gifts
That You have given me
So help me fan the flame which You began
And burn in me a love for You
That all will clearly see
