What Happens When a Home Belongs to God? | Country Gospel

This House Belongs to the Lord is a heartfelt country gospel song about family, faith, raising children with Jesus, and making a simple declaration: “As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” Blending Christian country music, warm Gospel harmonies and a message inspired by Joshua 24:15, this Magnolia Country Gospel song is a prayer for every home that wants Jesus to have a place at the table. A Christian home is not a perfect home. There may have been laughter inside these walls. There may have been tears. Arguments. Difficult seasons. Things we wish we could change. But through it all, a family can still make one decision: This house belongs to the Lord. ABOUT THIS SONG We spend so much of our lives trying to protect the people we love. Especially our children. We worry about their future. We wonder what kind of world they will inherit. We try to keep them safe from every wrong road and every difficult season. But there are things a parent cannot control. “We cannot keep our children By worry or by might.” What we can do is build a home where Jesus has a place. A home where prayer is still heard. Where grace is greater than perfection. Where the Gospel is more than something we hear on Sunday. And where our children know that, whatever happens outside those doors, there is a family inside still seeking the face of God. This song is not the declaration of a perfect family. It is the declaration of a surrendered one. “Not a perfect family Not a spotless floor Just a people in His mercy Saying, ‘Lord, we’re Yours.’” As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
