Intro:
D Dsus D
 
Verse:
     G         D
I've built up my own name
        G             D
but the walls couldn't stand.
                D
I've trusted my own strength
                  A
but it was sinking sand.
              Hm     G        D
So I put my ruins  into Your  hands
                  D
and watch You restore them
A              G
  like only You  can
 
Chorus:
       D
If the Lord builds the house
G    D
no - body can tear it down.
          Hm              A
If the Lord builds the house
G    D
no - body can tear it down.
          D                  D/F#
When it's built on His name, there's
G                        D
nothing gonna shake this ground.
A/C#      Hm              A
If the Lord builds the house
Am   G                D
no - body can tear it down.

Verse 2:
     G             D
The bricks may be weathered
        G         D
Through storm and  through fire.
                     D
But what God holds together
               A
it stands firm every time.
                             Hm           G         D
Cause when my life is anchored  on this solid truth
                    D
that whatever God's building
A                G
  no, it can't be  moved.
