No More Buts!

Verse 1 We can lay every stone, We can work through the night, We can plan every pathway And labor with all of our might. But a house without Your hand Is only our striving still. So ADONAI, be the Builder— Let this house be what You will. Chorus Unless You build the house, What are we building for? Unless You watch the walls, Who can guard the door? You are our Provider, Our portion and our peace. While Your beloved are sleeping, Your faithful hands still keep. So build this house, ADONAI. Build it according to Your heart. Let everything that stands here Be something You have raised. Verse 2 We rise before the morning, We carry the weight of the day, We stay awake with our worries As though everything depends on our strength. But You give to Your beloved; Your provision does not cease. Even while our eyes are closing, You are working while we sleep. Chorus Unless You build the house, What are we building for? Unless You watch the walls, Who can guard the door? You are our Provider, Our portion and our peace. While Your beloved are sleeping, Your faithful hands still keep. So build this house, ADONAI. Build it according to Your heart. Let everything that stands here Be something You have raised. Verse 3 And the children You have given Are a heritage from You, Like arrows held with purpose In the hands of one made strong. May we never call them burdens When You call them our reward. Every life within this household Is a precious gift from ADONAI. Bridge Build what we cannot build. Guard what we cannot guard. Carry what we cannot carry. ADONAI, this house is Yours. Provide what we cannot provide. Lead where we cannot see. Teach our hearts to rest in You And trust You while we sleep. Our children are Your heritage. Our future is in Your hands. Generation after generation, May this household honor You. Final Chorus Unless You build the house, We will not build in vain. Unless You watch the walls, Our hope is not in human strength. You are our Provider, Our portion and our peace. And when Your beloved are sleeping, Your faithful hands still keep. So build this house, ADONAI. Build our children, build our lives. Let everything within these walls Belong to You. Outro This house is Yours. These children are Yours. Our labor is Yours. Our future is Yours. ADONAI, You build the house. And we will rest In You.
