"House of Praise"

 

On the rock of our faith in Jesus Christ

we have gathered  as one  holy nation

What the builders rejected has become our life -

has become our  sure foundation.

And on this rock He'll build a house

Where He can dwell for endless days,

and it will be a house of praise

And it will be a house of praise.

 

 

From the praise of his people He builds a wall

That protects us from evil-whe shall never fall

The peace of the Spirit descends like a dove

It rests on each person, unites us in love

 

 

When we pray we will raise through the roof of this house

An offering  of sweet sacrifice.

Like incense to God our praise rises to the heaven

To show him our love for His Christ.

Many will see and hear of His grace

And the mercy He's shown  will amaze

And for our Lord we'll build a house

And it will be a house of praise.
