UNLESS THE LORD BUILDS

UNLESS THE LORD BUILDS I can build it with my hands, I can run until I bleed, But unless the Lord is with me, All my striving turns to dust beneath my feet. I’m not chasing empty glory, I’m not fighting just to prove, When the Builder stands beside me, Every step I take has purpose, every move has truth. I won’t fear, I won’t fold, I know Who holds the road. I can work, I can fight, But the Lord gives me the victory tonight! *UNLESS THE LORD BUILDS — I BUILD IN VAIN!* *UNLESS HE LEADS — I RUN IN VAIN!* I put my trust in the One who stands, The Rock beneath me, the strength in my hands. *I WILL RISE — I WILL STAND!* Built by God, I know where I am! No empty pride, no wasted fight, *THE LORD IS WITH ME — I’M BUILT TO RISE!* Some wake up chasing riches, Some are burning through the night, But the Lord gives sleep to His beloved, While He guards the battle and He holds the fight. I don’t need to carry burdens That were never mine to bear, If the Lord is building with me, I can walk through every pressure knowing He is there. I’m done with the fear, Done with the doubt, I know Who builds When the world wears out. Brick by brick, Faith by faith, I’m standing strong By amazing grace. You can shake the ground, You can test my frame, But when God is the Builder, *I’M NOT BUILT TO BREAK!* *UNLESS THE LORD BUILDS — I BUILD IN VAIN!* *UNLESS HE LEADS — I RUN IN VAIN!* I put my trust in the One who stands, The Rock beneath me, the strength in my hands. *I WILL RISE — I WILL STAND!* Built by God, I know where I am! No empty pride, no wasted fight, *THE LORD IS WITH ME — I’M BUILT TO RISE!* If You build it — I’ll stand in it. If You lead me — I’ll walk in it. If You call me — I’ll answer You. If You send me — I’ll follow through. **My strength is not my own, My future is in Your hands. The work may be heavy, But with You I’ll stand!** *UNLESS THE LORD BUILDS — I BUILD IN VAIN!* So I surrender every plan, every name! Let every wall rise under Your command, Let every dream be built by Your hands! *I WILL RISE — I WILL STAND!* Built by God, I know where I am! Through every storm, through every fight, *THE LORD IS WITH ME — I’M BUILT TO RISE!* Not by my strength. Not by my name. Not by my power. **THE LORD BUILDS. THE LORD LEADS. THE LORD SUSTAINS.**
