If God Built the Building Lyrics
Verse I
If I'd listened to what some people said I'd turned back long ago
They said I'd never see it through, I'd never make it I was told
But I know in whom I've trusted, he is my dearest friend
I'll never turn back or retreat, I'll stand firm til the end
Chorus
If God built the building, be sure it will stay
He placed it on a cornerstone that never will give way
Guarded by his angels, strengthened by his hand
If God built the building then be sure it will stand
Verse II
So many say they're Christians but they're following their own plan
Day and night they labor but they're building in the sand
They've trusted in religion and doctrines made by man
But the church was built from Calvary's cross and on that rock it stands
Bridge
When Jesus built the building he made it firm and strong
He walked through death's cold chamber and met the devil there head on
He said "Ol' boy, my work is finished, my mission is complete
I've conquered you, death and the grave and I've come to get the keys"
