Burnin’ for Your House Intro (With a lonesome steel guitar wail) I’m burnin’ for Your house, Lord, with a fire in my soul, Your glory’s my desire, it’s makin’ this heart whole. Verse 1 Out in the fields, where the dust and shadows fall, I hear Your holy call, Lord, it’s ringin’ through it all. My heart’s a ragin’ fire for Your sacred, holy ground, I’ll stand for You through thunder, till Your truth is all that’s found. (Psalm 69:9) Pre-Chorus Your name’s my fight, my beacon in the night, I’ll bear their scorn to walk within Your light. Chorus Burnin’ for Your house, with a zeal that won’t let go, Takin’ all their hate, Lord, ‘cause Your love’s what I know. The shame they throw at You, I’ll carry in my chest, For Your house, my Savior, I’ll give my very best. (Psalm 69:9, Romans 15:3) Verse 2 He stormed that temple gate, with a fire in His eyes, Drove out the thieves and liars, ‘neath Jerusalem’s skies. His heart beat for Your glory, like David’s song foretold, He paid the price for love, with a cross of purest gold. (John 2:17) Pre-Chorus Your name’s my fight, my beacon in the night, I’ll bear their scorn to walk within Your light. Chorus Burnin’ for Your house, with a zeal that won’t let go, Takin’ all their hate, Lord, ‘cause Your love’s what I know. The shame they throw at You, I’ll carry in my chest, For Your house, my Savior, I’ll give my very best. Bridge I ain’t livin’ for myself, Lord, Your will’s my only road, Like Jesus took the cross, I’ll bear this heavy load. Through every taunt and trial, Your glory’s worth the fight, Your house is my forever, my shelter in the night. (Romans 15:3) Chorus Burnin’ for Your house, with a zeal that won’t let go, Takin’ all their hate, Lord, ‘cause Your love’s what I know. The shame they throw at You, I’ll carry in my chest, For Your house, my Savior, I’ll give my very best. Outro I’m burnin’ for Your house, Lord, till my final breath is gone, Your glory’s my horizon, it’s the light I’m leanin’ on. Through dust and storm, I’ll stand, with Your fire in my soul, Burnin’ for Your house, till Your kingdom makes me whole.
