Courage to Build Again

I have always set up a foundation

Being mindful of tommorow's roofing

Everytime choosing every stone wisely

Hopeful that this will last.

A house though, not built by one hand alone

I may take care of stone, and someone the cement

In measures not fair, some quantities may scarce, flawing the building.

I may have notified the Almighty

Concerning the foundation

But to find a comparable builder

Has proven scarce

My brick at times heavier, at times weak at hands.

In all, i lose courage to build again.

At times we reach the roofing

To make house, that every young desires.

Only for the wall to become shaky, trust fades

One builder lusts another's house

And wants to join in the finishing.

A house left without roof

The foundation looses within

The stones of promises fall one after another

Wind passing through the empty panes

Having ignorant and arrogant builders,

Give cheap bids.

To build again, i have one piece of heart

I did destroy the old building,

That i so built painfully

The promises of the earlier foundation being thrown away

And again emptiness, that Your presence Lord promised to fill.

I need courage to build again

To set a new heavy stone

to the piece that Lord

You have knit together.

Promise me that i will not throw away

the marble stones tomorrow

That the unfaithful mallet will not be used on me tomorrow.

And never to dig up the foundation to be.

An eternal sunshine lit when your gracious eyes met mine

You give me the courage to build again 

An assurance of hope when i first saw you 

And the silent promise i cling to.

A lovely real builder that you are,

From the inside out of me

I pledge with all, not to waste,

The jewel of your worth that protects the foundation to be 

Saying that i believe in you 

I want to build again with you
