Recall how David swore,
"I'll not come into my house,
Nor go up to my bed,
Give slumber to mine eyelids,
Until I find a place for Thee,
A place, O Lord, for Thee."
Our mighty God desires a home
Where all His own may come.
"I'll not come into my house,
Nor go up to my bed,
Give slumber to mine eyelids,
Until I find a place for Thee,
A place, O Lord, for Thee."
Our mighty God desires a home
Where all His own may come.

How blinded we have been,
Shut in with what concerns us;
While God's house lieth waste—
Lord, break through, overturn us;
We'll go up to the mountain,
Bring wood and build the house;
We'll never say, "Another day!"
It's time! We'll come and build!

O Lord, against these days,
Inspire some for Your building,
Just as in David's day—
A remnant who are willing
To come and work in Your house,
Oh, what a blessed charge!
Your heart's desire, is our desire—
We come, O Lord, to build.
Inspire some for Your building,

To come and work in Your house,
Oh, what a blessed charge!

We come, O Lord, to build.

Within those whom You'd call
Put such a restless caring
For building to give all—
These times are for preparing;
The gates of hell cannot prevail
Against the builded Church!
The hours are few, the builders too—
Lord, build, O build in us!
Put such a restless caring
For building to give all—
These times are for preparing;
The gates of hell cannot prevail
Against the builded Church!
The hours are few, the builders too—
Lord, build, O build in us!

Build in us new hearts, Lord that we may even be true to You Lord, that we may serve You in truth and in spirit without partiality and above all prepare our hearts for the second coming of Your Son, Jesus.
Lord O build in us, strengthen our faith in You.
Let us not doubt You anymore!
Lord we pray that You will defeat us, defeat us every day! Let us have a single heart for You to fufill Your plan, let us not love ourselves. we just want to take even more of You into our being, so fill us up. O Lord come into us. Lord let me not associate with worldly things anymore but love only You. Please cleanse my sins and I thank You for all that You have done for us.

Lord thank You for touching my Heart once again, today we should not be proud to ourselves and say it's not yet time, for us to turn to You and build Your house we can build it tomorrow because there are many tomorrows ahead of us. We should realized that many saints is doubling their effort even tripling their efforts for Building the house of God because we turned our back to the Lord. I am guilty for this and yet after hearing this hymn again and reading some comments from the saints it is like Lord here am I, send me for Your building today is the time. You shall have Your Home today not tomorrow. Today is the time to build Your house with the saints... We should not sleep until Your home is finished. I love You Lord! I love you brothers and sisters... Let us all build together the house of Jehovah our God. Today is the time to gather all the precious materials which prepares by the Lord Himself for His building. Hallelujah for Christ!
