Psalm 127:1 “Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain…” (NIV)*

I could not lay a foundation

that would stand the test of time.

Nor could I build walls

to protect in rain or shine.

…..

I could not supply materials

destined not to wear down.

Nor could I know the future

to design each room around.

…..

There’s one who lays foundations

eternity’s blueprint in mind.

His work guaranteed forever,

the house he’s building? Mine.
