From the ashes
Beauty rises
Like the morning star
and everything has come to life
In the wreckage...
Waking to a wonder unexpected
From this ruin
comes new life
From these remains
Your kingdom shall be raised
Your love is rebuilding us
Blooming,
radiant the colors of salvation,
falling on our shame and sin
Hope renewing
as everything we are becomes your glory
All things return to you again
Return to you again
From these remains
Your kingdom shall be raised
Your love is rebuilding us
From these broken lives
We see that city rise
Your love is rebuilding us
So we don't have to be afraid
of the wrecking ball, the burning flame
From our broken lives
We see your glory rise
Your love is rebuilding us
Your love is rebuilding us
From these remains
Your kingdom shall be raised
Your love is rebuilding us

House of Their Dreams/Build Your House
"And on this Rock, we will build
On this Rock, we will build
The house of our dreams"
Casting Crowns
---
With fervent love You came, reviving sin-dead lives
Making us one in grace alive in Christ
So come and purify us, You’ve come to unify
O let Your heart revive us, washing Your bride
One faith, one Church, one Father
One King above us all
God make us one as You are one
Right here the ground is even, right here the colors show
Increase the love between us, so that the world would know
One faith, one Church, one Father
One King above us all
God make us one as You are one
This is the love that makes us one
You unsealed grace and poured out love
And so with a dream we’re asking;
Build Your house, let the walls come down
Won’t you build your house let the walls come down
Build your house let the walls come down

What If Every Tear You Cry Will Seed the Ground Where Joy Will Grow
The hurt that broke your heart
And left you trembling in the dark
Feeling lost and alone
Will tell you hope's a lie
But what if every tear you cry
Will seed the ground where joy will grow
And nothing is wasted
Nothing is wasted
In the hands of our Redeemer
Nothing is wasted
It's from the deepest wounds
That beauty finds a place to bloom
And you will see before the end
That every broken piece is
Gathered in the heart of Jesus
And what's lost will be found again
Nothing is wasted
Nothing is wasted
In the hands of our Redeemer
Nothing is wasted
From the ruins
From the ashes
Beauty will rise
From the wreckage
From the darkness
Glory will shine
Glory will shine
Nothing is wasted
Nothing is wasted
In the hands of our Redeemer
Nothing is wasted
From the ruins
From the ashes
Beauty will rise
From the wreckage
From the darkness
Glory will shine
Glory will shine

So We Build
It's bigger than we thought
It's taller than it oughta be
This pile of rubble and ruins
The neighbors must talk
It's the worst yard on the block
Just branches and boards
Where walls stood
Did it seem to you
Like the storm just knew
We weren't quite finished with the roof
When it started?
So we build
We build
We clear away what was
And make room for what will be
If you'll hold the nails, I'll take the hammer
I'll hold it still, if you'll climb the ladder
If you will, then I will build
On any given day
We could simply walk away
And let someone else hold the pieces
The lie that we tell
Says that it's better somewhere else
As if love flies south when it freezes
What I'm tryin' to say
In some clumsy way is that
It's you and only you for always
That's why we build
We build
We clear away what was
And make room for what will be
If you'll hold the nails, I'll take the hammer
I'll hold it still if you'll climb the ladder
If you will, then I will build
What I'm tryin' to say
In some clumsy way is that
It's you and only you for always
Not just for now, not just today
But it's you and only you
For always
So if you hold the nails, I'll take the hammer
I'll hold it still if you'll climb the ladder
And if you will, then I will build

The House That Built Me
i know they say you can't go home again.
i just had to come back one last time.
ma'am I know you don't know me from Adam.
but these handprints on the front steps are mine.
and up those stairs, in that little back bedroom
is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar.
and I bet you didn't know under that live oak
my favorite dog is buried in the yard.
i thought if I could touch this place or feel it
this brokenness inside me might start healing.
out here its like I'm someone else,
i thought that maybe I could find myself
if I could just come in I swear I'll leave.
won't take nothing but a memory
from the house that built me.
mama cut out pictures of houses for years.
from 'Better Homes and Garden' magazines.
plans were drawn, concrete poured,
and nail by nail and board by board
daddy gave life to mama's dream.
i thought if I could touch this place or feel it
this brokenness inside me might start healing.
out here its like I'm someone else,
i thought that maybe I could find myself.
if I could just come in I swear I'll leave.
won't take nothing but a memory
from the house that built me.
you leave home, you move on and you do the best you can.
i got lost in this whole world and forgot who I am.
i thought if I could touch this place or feel it
this brokenness inside me might start healing.
out here its like I'm someone else,
i thought that maybe I could find myself.
if I could walk around I swear I'll leave.
won't take nothing but a memory
from the house that built me.

This House
it took me by surprise
this old house and these old feelings
walked round and looked inside
familiar walls and halls and ceilings
this old house and these old feelings
walked round and looked inside
familiar walls and halls and ceilings
where I'd dream and plan
every moment of sunshine
this was my whole world
it was all I knew.
every moment of sunshine
this was my whole world
it was all I knew.
like the hull of a seed
this old house cracked wide open
as I grew.
this old house cracked wide open
as I grew.
hadn't given it much thought
hadn't been back here for a while
everything looks so small
seen through the memories of a child
hadn't been back here for a while
everything looks so small
seen through the memories of a child
who would dream and stare
from that second story window
from that second story window
that was my whole world
it was all I knew.
it was all I knew.
like the hull the of a seed
this old house cracked wide open
and I flew
this old house cracked wide open
and I flew
sad, fruitful, broken, true.
sad, fruitful, broken, true.
sad, fruitful, broken, true.
memories for miles and miles
summers falls winters and springs
You take it in
See, He's withheld no good thing
summers falls winters and springs
You take it in
See, He's withheld no good thing

My Hope is Built On Nothing Less/On Christ the Solid Rock I Stand
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus' Name.
On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
His oath, His covenant, and blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When every earthly prop gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found,
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne!
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus' Name.
On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
His oath, His covenant, and blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When every earthly prop gives way,
He then is all my Hope and Stay.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found,
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne!
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
