A house is built with wood and stone,
But it doesn't just become a home.
A home is built with love and care
By those who fill its rooms with prayer.
Day by day its strength is formed
As prayer by prayer its rooms are warmed.
Wisdom is its strong foundation,
Its walls are praise and celebration.
As fellowship and love abound,
Joy and laughter oft resound.
When happy hearts in God agree
The home is strong in unity.
A house just built with wood and stone
Will never quite become a home
Until its rooms are filled with love
As given from the Father above.
"Through wisdom a house is built, and by understanding
it is established; by knowledge the rooms are filled with all
precious and pleasant riches."
Proverbs 24:3-4 NKJ
