[Verse 1] Shingles curling like old hands praying Rusty nails on the window sill Rain sneaks in where the paint is fading Little brown river on the windowsill Creaking boards hum low in the hallway Wind sings through every broken seam Lord You see this leaning doorway You see my heart in every beam [Chorus] Raise this roof again Lord Jesus Lift these rafters Lift my soul Patch these leaks with grace that frees us Make this weary house feel whole Every hammer swing keeps saying You’re the hope I’m living in As the daylight keeps on breaking Come on Lord Raise this roof again (yeah) [Verse 2] Tin pail catching drops in the kitchen Drip… drip… like a ticking clock Muddy boots leave a trail I’m wishing You’d wash cleaner than a river rock Spiderwebs hang thick in the corner Like old doubts I never shook But Your word cuts straight through the mortar Like sunlight through a dusty nook [Chorus] Raise this roof again Lord Jesus Lift these rafters Lift my soul Patch these leaks with grace that frees us Make this weary house feel whole Every hammer swing keeps saying You’re the hope I’m living in As the daylight keeps on breaking Come on Lord Raise this roof again (oh, raise it) [Bridge] [Band breaks Fiddle answering vocal lines] Hand on wood Heart on fire (hey!) Nails and prayers climbing higher Every shingle laid in place Feels like one more gift of grace From the ground up You’re restoring From the floorboards to my sin As this old roof starts its glory Let Your joy come pouring in (pour it in!) [Chorus] Raise this roof again Lord Jesus Lift these rafters Lift my soul Patch these leaks with grace that frees us Make this weary house feel whole Every hammer swing keeps saying You’re the hope I’m living in When the storms come hard and heavy You’re my shelter You’re my friend [Outro] [Banjo run Band drops Voices a cappella] Raise this roof again Raise this roof again
