"WHY LORD?"

I was building a house for Jesus
Thought I was doing--Oh so fine!
I'm not a sinner anymore
Just self-righteous-lord-this time

Weep for the lost--not anymore
Lord--I've got so much to do
Looking for flaws and spotting faults
As a watchman Lord--for you

Standing on the Promises
Despising others too
Why God--are you taking so long
For me--Oh Lord--to move

You promised Lord to bless me so
So hurry up and move
For I'm growing Lord - Impatient
And I'm growing Lord - Cold Too

What do you mean that you're not pleased
With all I've done for you
I've forsaken -Oh Lord- everything
Everything -- I wanted to

Why Lord? Why Lord? Why Lord? Why Lord?
Do I feel like you've forsaken me
I've built this house all by myself
And I'm quite proud of it you see

Oh Lord -- There's trouble coming
There's a storm - Lord - in my soul
All the "Bless Me Promise" boards are loose
Anf my foundation's shaking so

My house -- Oh Lord -- is falling
Now -- Oh Lord -- I'm on my knees
Have Mercy-Mercy-Mercy-Lord
And save me - save me - please

Tears now flowing like a river
Repentance granted to my soul
Counting the cost - Counting all but lost
Just Jesus -- Make me whole

Fix my heart steadfast on you
This time we'll do it right
I'll let you build the house--Oh Lord
As I -- In You -- Delight

Cause holiness to reign in me
Purity in all I do
No hidden motives in my heart
That are not -- Lord -- pleasing you

Forsaking all self-righteousness
Mercy recieved -- Lord-- I'll extend
With Love as my foundation Lord
You'll have a temple to dwell in

Your will -- Not mine
Oh Lord be done
Let it - not be - concealed
But every day -- each step I take
Oh Lord -- Your will -- Reveal

Thank you Holy Spirit
For sharing Jesus's thoughts with me
Quicken and enable Lord
​Holy Spirit -- Live In Me
