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

If the
Bm 
Lord builds the
house

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

anchored
On
this solid
truth
That whatever God's
building
No, it can’t be
moved
