Built for You lyrics

Lord, I’m building up a high tower

Made up of the foolish things I've done

In reaching for the sun

Made up of wood, hay and stubble

And now I am afraid it will crumble down

Oh Lord, what have I done?

For unless the Lord builds this house

We labour in vain

This frail body is the temple of the Lord

So I'll sacrifice my heart and soul

For the glory of Your name

I will build for You this temple in my soul

Lord, I’m giving up my power

And trusting in the flesh for what I'd done

Now I’m reaching for Your Son

And I will build with gold and silver

Forever to endure the fire of

Your holy righteous throne

For unless the Lord builds this house

We labour in vain

This frail body is the temple of the Lord

So I’ll sacrifice my heart and soul

For the glory of Your name

I will build for You this temple in my soul

Oh, I am waiting for that city

Whose builder is our God

I turn my back on Babylon

Toward New Jerusalem

Prepared for all the saints and angels glory, forever

Amen, Amen

For unless the Lord builds this house

We labour in vain

This frail body is the temple of the Lord

So I’ll sacrifice my heart and soul

For the glory of Your name

I will build for You

Oh, I will build for You

This temple in my soul

Amen, forever
