Psalm 127

lyrics

(Psalm 127)

Though we ascend in early day,
delay our sleep,
work through the night,
our plans and skills
would be in vain
if we forget who must provide.

Chorus:
Unless the Lord
he builds this house,
the builders work is all in vain.
So helps us, Lord,
to let you lead,
for what you build
it will remain.

And our task is but a noise
if we believe
this rests on us.
Do you not know
that as you sleep
our God provides for his Belov’d?

So, as we craft and lead and tread,
in every plan,
be you our Head.
And clean our hearts from our pride,
and fix our eyes on you instead.

So, Father, lay our every stone.
In love and wisdom lead us on.
For what can fail or crumble if
it’s cornerstone is Jesus Christ!

And if the Lord
he builds this house,
the builder's work is not in vain.
So, helps us Lord
to let you lead,
for what you build
it will remain.
