Building Up Homes

(Verse 1)
Dogs barking in the middle of the night
I stub my toe on the way to the light
And in the morning I feel like sleeping in
Gotta get up, It’s half past four
It’s much cooler to work in the morning
So I grab the plan and load the tools I’ll need

(Chorus 1)
I’m building up homes, I’m working for a living
Working in the sun for a little bit of pay
I picture the work all done to get me through the day
Building up homes, I’m building up homes

(Verse 2)
Three thirty and I head home
Hit the shower and get on the phone
So who’s new at our bible group tonight?
Gotta help them understand
I’m following the master’s plan
Building up by faith and not by sight

(Chorus 2)
I’m building up homes, I’m working for Jesus
Working for the Life, the Truth and the Way
I picture the work all done to get me through the day
Building up homes, I’m building up homes
(Repeat chorus)
(Bridge)
There’s no stronger foundation to build your life upon
Than Jesus, my Savior, God’s Risen Son
