House Of The Lord

Presented here are lyrics to a choral piece.  Another song my daughter recorded and can be found at the top of my song page site this week.  

Linking to Jenny Matlock's Alphabe-Thursday Letter H

House of the Lord

References...Luke 6:36, John 14:2, Matt 7:26, Josh 24:15

Why call me “Lord, Lord”

And not do as I say?

He who hears my words but acts not with his deeds

Is like one who builds on the sand whose house will find ruin.

Build upon solid ground and you will find peace.

Floods may come crashing down but they will not crush you.

My house will stand the storm

If you believe.

My house has many rooms for each of my followers.

Come dwell in my house of hope, truth and love.

Serve and obey me so you’ll find life abundant.

I’ll give you shelter from life’s stormy weather.

All you must do is choose

Life over death.

House of the Lord (4X)

Enter through My door and know you are accepted.

Welcomed by My house of Lord, God, and Spirit.

You are designed to live One with My Father.

Claim all your blessings and live in the heavens.

All is prepared to live

life under grace.

As for me and my house

We choose the Lord.

Understanding Ephphatha

This is a choral piece my daughter Angela and her friend Kathleen graciously recorded.  As part of the Alphabe-Thursday’s Letter U  Challenge. ♫♪ 

Ephphatha:  Be Opened

Based on Mark 7:34

1. Ephphatha, be opened

Thus says the Lord.

Deaf are commanded to hear with their soul.

Spirit, dwell within us.

Hearts closed and minds closed

We long to be filled

Only the spirit can open our will.

Spirit, dwell within us

Ephphatha, be opened.

Fill us O Lord

Ephphatha, be opened.

Open us Lord

2. Ephphatha, be opened.

Spirit’s reward.

Don’t vex the spirit.

Let Him have control.

Spirit, dwell within us.

Heart, mind, and soul

For the Lord we’re designed.

Only the spirit lets us see the divine.

Spirit, dwell within us

Ephphatha, be opened.

Fill us O Lord

Ephphatha, be opened.

We hear you Lord.
