There's A House In Heaven

After taking a long look at the Blogger Terms of Service, I have come to the conclusion that Google is not going to assume ownership of any original material I post here.  Good.  I'd hate to have someone tell me I lost the copyright to my own songs!

 

This is the first worship song I ever wrote, and the second one overall.  No, I'm not going to post my first song.  Not now, at any rate :)

 

There's a house for me in heaven

Not for anything I've done

I was just a babe when it was built

But now that I am grown

I can see the shingles on the roof

And grass upon the lawn

I am his

I am his

 

In the name of the trinity

I was baptized to the Lord

I have pledged my life to Jesus Christ

And the promise of the word

Through the sacrament of bread and wine

My spirit is restored

I am his

I am his

 

Even though the flesh is given up to sin

I rejoice to know his spirit is within

And the day I draw my dying breath

Is the day I'll win

For that's the day my new life will begin

 

There's a house for me in heaven

And oh, what a sight to see

It was built in sacrificial love

By my Lord upon the tree

And I know that everlasting life

Is waiting there for me

I am his

I am his
