Lyrics

Unless the Lord builds the house, we labor in vain
Unless the Lord watches out, we labor in vain
In our own strength we've sown, worked our hands to the bone
Unless the Lord builds the house, we labor in vain
By the sweat of our brow, we labor in vain
When our legs push the plow, we labor in vain
In our own strength we've sown, worked our hands to the bone
By the sweat of our brow, we labor in vain
You can have all the work of my hands
For you made all I see, the soil and the sand
This back that you've made has begun to break
Take it all, take it all, take it all
When the Lord builds the house, we rest in His name
When the Lord watches out, we rest in His name
In our own strength we've sown, worked our hands to the bone
When the Lord builds the house, we rest in His name
You can have all the work of my hands
For you made all I see, the soil and the sand
This back that you've made has begun to break
Take it all, take it all, take it all
You can have all the work of my hands
For you made all I see, the soil and the sand
This back that you've made has begun to break
Take it all, take it all, take it all
Unless the Lord builds the house, we labor in vain
Unless the Lord watches out, we labor in vain
In our own strength we've sown, worked our hands to the bone
Unless the Lord builds the house, we labor in vain
