Down through the years
Through toils and tears
The people have gathered
Weary and weak and needing relief
From life’s stormy weather
A shelter secure for the tired and the poor
To lay down their trouble and pain
A place where the soul
Can finally be at home
And healing can always begin
(Chorus)
This the house that love built
The place that love fill
The home where love will
Be the foundation forever
And the light will lead us
And faith will free us
Our hope is Jesus
And he will bind us together
With love,
Oh sweet love.
Somehow she stands
Through shifting of sands
The church is unveiling
She’s come through the fire
Pulled out of the fire
Pulled out of a mire
But always prevailing
She’s heaven on earth
And the light of the world
That grows up a-brighter with time
She’s built on the rock
By the power of God
And His kingdom will never die.
(Repeat chorus)
(Bridge)
Windows and walls, steeples and halls
Someday will they’ll all come tumbling down
But this church began without buildings or land
It lives in our hearts and forever will stand
It will stand.
(Repeat chorus) 2x
Bind us with love, oh sweet love
Bind us with love, oh sweet love
Bind us with love, oh sweet love
