Verse

With my own bricks
With clay and sticks
I been building my house
With tar and mortar
Been making my border
To keep the pain out

Chorus

So would You tear my house down
Would You tear my house down
Would You tear my house down
Would You tear my house down

With my own bricks
With clay and sticks
I been building my house
With tar and mortar
Been making my border
To keep the pain out

Chorus

So would You tear my house down
Would You tear my house down
Would You tear my house down
Would You tear my house down

Post Chorus

And set me on Your rock O God
Would You place me
Where my feet won't slip

Post Chorus

You set me on Your rock O God
Would You place me
Where my feet won't slip

Bridge 1

So take me back to where I started
Take me back to when I was
In Your heart in Your home
Before I went out on my own

Bridge 2

Oh tear this house down to its foundations
Break what You must break in me
On the shores of Your salvation
Cast my manmade Kingdom into the sea

Chorus

You tear my house down
Would You place me
Where my feet won't slip
Would You tear my house down
Would You place me
Where my feet won't slip
