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

VERSE 2
 
The bricks may be
weathered
 
Through
storm and
through fire
 
But what God holds to
gether
 
It stands firm
every time

F#7/A# 
my life is
Bm 
anchored
 
On
this solid
truth
 
That whatever God's
building
No, it can’t be
moved
