House Not Made with Hands Songtext

von Ceili Rain

When my earthly home is torn down
There's a new place that I'll land
I'll be welcomed into the house not made with hands
When the temple my soul dwells in
Returns to dust and sand
I will move into the house not made with hands

In the house, in the house
Ev'ry school child understands
You get to live again
In the house not made with hands

When I was young and bold and reckless
I said: "I'm an invincible man
Who in the world needs a house not made with hands?"
But when you've spun all of the bottles
And kicked all of the cans
It's mighty good to see the house not made with hands

There were days when I gave up hope
Thinkin' I don't stand a chance
Of ever walkin' into the house not made with hands
Though they were times I lost my rhythm
And my feet just wouldn't dance
Now I believe I'll waltz into the house not made with hands

All the good times I believed that
The whole world watched me dance
They're forgotten in the house not made with hands
So when I've come to the completion
Of all my silly plans
We'll be laughin' in the house not made with hands

In the house, in the house
Ev'ry school child understands
You'll see some long lost friends
In the house not made with hands
