The Great Rebuilding

Almost had given up
Lost sight of the light
Walls were falling
And closing in
Remembered thy judgments
Thy word quickened me
All was leveled
Just to begin

We’re broken
These trials make whole
These lessons
From one to extol

Refusing to let you tear me down
Rebuilding this temple from the ground
Refusing to let you tear me down
Rebuilding this temple from the ground

True friends aren’t lining up
You lost my respect
Still I forgave
That you betrayed
Suppressed the pressures of
Death, loss and disease
Now there’s something
I want to say
You’ve got a lot of nerve
Appalled by what you served
Another lesson learned
That’s your bridge that you burned

Unbroken
A vow to uphold
Unspoken
The name to extol

Refusing to let you tear me down
Rebuilding this temple from the ground
Refusing to let you tear me down
Rebuilding this temple from the ground

Refusing to let you tear me down
Rebuilding this temple from the ground
Refusing to let you tear me down
Rebuilding this temple from the ground
