VERSE 1
 
I’ve built up my
D 
own name
 
But the
G 
walls could
D 
n’t stand
 
I’ve trusted my
D 
own strength
 
But it was sinking
A 
sand
 
So
F#7/A# 
I put my
Bm 
ruins
G 
Into Your
D 
hands
 
And watch You re
D 
store them
A 
Like only You
G 
can
 
CHORUS
 
If the
D 
Lord builds the house
G 
No -
D 
body can tear it down
 
If the
Bm 
Lord builds the
A 
house
 
No
G 
body can tear it
D 
down
 
When it’s
D 
built on His name
D/F# 
There’s
G 
nothing gonna shake this
D 
ground
A/C# 
If the
Bm 
Lord builds the
A 
house
Am 
No -
G 
body can tear it
D 
down

The bricks may be

It stands firm
A 
every time
 
Cause

my life is

On

this solid
D 
truth

G 
moved
