Lyrics

(Verse 1)
I walked into the gym one day,
Strength I’d built along the way.
Side by side, rep for rep,
People stared—they hadn’t seen me yet.

(Pre-Chorus)
But the weights don’t matter, the strength won’t stay,
If I don’t listen, if I turn away.

(Chorus)
Unless the Lord builds the house,
We labor, but it all falls down.
Every plan, every stone,
Must be laid on Christ alone.

(Verse 2)
Then he took me to the rooftop high,
Blueprints ready, tools in sight.
Drilling holes where the water flows,
But I fought instead of letting go.

(Pre-Chorus)
Frustration rose, I couldn’t see,
The Master Builder was guiding me.

(Chorus)
Unless the Lord builds the house,
We labor, but it all falls down.
Every plan, every stone,
Must be laid on Christ alone.

(Bridge)
Cornerstone strong, tested and tried,
Stand on Him, don’t run and hide.
Let the bad air fade away,
Let the truth be heard today.

(Verse 3)
Now I see the plans were right,
I was blind, but now there’s light.
The Rock was there, firm and true,
He’s still building—let Him move.

(Final Chorus)
Unless the Lord builds the house,
We labor, but it all falls down.
Every plan, every stone,
Must be laid on Christ alone.

(Outro)
So I’ll listen, I’ll be still,
Let the Builder have His will.
No more panic, no more doubt,
On His rock, I’m standing now.
