Our Love-Propped Home

“Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it…” Psalm 127 of the King James Bible
God’s love props home where we belong There we hear Mom’s sweet caring song As kindness secures joy of heart Braced upon Dad’s fortress-rampart. Christ's peace reigns above dearest home Under mutual respect dome Exuding warm forgiveness-bliss Ending conflicts of Brod and Sis. The Saviour guards our home so well Cheering souls inside prayer-cell Soaring freely toward faith flight While reaching-out, bearing hope’s light. Our grace-anchored home is so blest Where members share with all their best Since the Lord builds relationship Midst compassion-filled fellowship.
