Verse 1
We want to build the house of God
We want to be all You’ve made us to be
To live as children of promise, to fulfil our destiny
We want to be a house of mercy
To love the lost and the broken and poor
Increase our love for each other
And bless our unity, Lord
Verse 2
Train us to be a mighty army
Standing shoulder to shoulder, as one
Filled with the power of Your Spirit
Standing on the Word of God
We are a church of the nations
As we reach out to the ends of the earth
Taking the light of Your gospel
Making disciples of Christ
Chorus
Build Your house, O God
Let Your will be done
Build Your house, O God
Let Your kingdom come
Verse 3
Lord, fill our lives with Your passion
And fill this house with the worship of God
A fragrance lifted to heaven
An offering pleasing to You
Make this a gateway to heaven
Where the people come in and declare,
“Surely God is among you,
Surely God is in this place!”
