A house! A house! It's our family's desire,
So classified ads we read.
We search and search for a place to live.
Please, Lord, supply our need.
A house! A house! The perfect house,
No other one will do!
We look and look but they're only a shell,
The emptiness screams at you.
"A house, a house," the Lord replies,
"That's what you want from me?"
A house or a home you'll have to choose,
Which one will it be?
A house! A house! I'll let you have,
You can fill it with many things.
Add locks and bolts and dogs to guard,
All of your hopes and dreams.
A home! A home! I'll give to thee.
I'll guard it night and day.
I'll post your angels at the door,
No evil can make you their prey.
A home! A home! I'll give to thee.
And what will be within?
What truly makes a house a home?
Don't you know my friend?
A home! A home! You must know,
Has more treasures than you can see.
The blessings of love they overflow,
It's all that you want it to be.
A house! A house! I'll lead you too.
But the final choice is yours.
To turn a house into a home,
Hang my shingle on your door!
I started writing this when so many at FS were moving and looking for houses.
It was used for Doralee's 5th anniversary.
