lyrics

A Home That Forever Will Stand
music & lyric by Matthew Levine

O sisters and brothers, the hour is at hand
Our very foundation is turning to sand
So gather ye faithful, heed His command
And we'll build a home that forever will stand

Into the future we stumble
Winding through din and decay
All around us we see the world crumble
Our old way of living's had its day
Deep in our pain and confusion
Speaks the All-Merciful "Here am I, here am I
To love you and show you the way"

O sisters and brothers, our calling is clear
Sing Hallelujah for heaven is near
Our Kingdom will rise up throughout all the land
As we build a home that forever will stand

Bold is the pen of our Maker
Each word a beacon of light
Shining with justice and mercy
Piercing the darkness of night
Bright are the hearts of His servants
And though we are few we will find a way to seize the day
And with passion and vision unite

CHORUS

O my God, O my God.
O Thou who hast made us from water and clay
Praised be God, praised be God.
How long we have waited and prayed for this day

CHORUS
