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.
