Tear My House Down – Chris Renzema

With my own bricks
With clay and sticks
I’ve been building my house
With tar and mortar
Been making my border
To keep the pain out

With my own bricks
With clay and sticks
I’ve been building my house
With tar and mortar
Been making my border
To keep the pain out

So would You tear my house down?
Would You tear my house down?
Would You tear my house down?
Would You tear my house down?

With my own bricks
With clay and sticks
I’ve been building my house
With tar and mortar
Been making my border
To keep the pain out

So would You tear my house down?
Would You tear my house down?
Would You tear my house down?
Would You tear my house down?

And set me on Your rock, oh God
Would You place me where my feet won’t slip?
Would You set me on Your rock, oh God?
Would You place me where my feet won’t slip?
Would You set me on Your rock, oh God?
Would You place me where my feet won’t slip?
Would You set me on Your rock, oh God?
Would You place me where my feet won’t slip?

So take me back to where I started
Take me back to when I was
In Your heart, in Your home
Before I went out on my own
Oh, tear this house down to its foundations
Break what You must break in me
On the shores of Your salvation
Cast my man-made kingdom into the sea
Oh, into the sea

Would You tear my house down?
Would You place me where my feet won’t slip?
Would You tear my house down?
