My House (Pronunciation)

My House

Will you build me a house

A house that really will be mine?

Then let me give you my design

A simple scheme of the house I dream of

Build my house of wood

Build my house of stone

Build my house of brick and mortar

Make the ceiling strong

Strong against the storm

Shelter when the days grow shorter

But build my house of love

And paint my house with trusting

And warm it with the warmth of your heart

Make the floor of faith

Make the walls of truth

Put a roof of peace above

Only build my house of love
