lyrics
I will build my house
Whether storm or drought
On the rock that does not move
I will set my hope
In your love, O Lord
And your faithfulness will prove
You are steadfast, steadfast
By the word you spoke
All the starry host
Are called out by name each night
In your watchful care
I will rest secure
As you lead us with your light
You are steadfast, steadfast
I will not trust in the strength of kings
On your promise I will stand
I will shout for joy, I will raise my voice
Hallelujah to the Lamb!
You are steadfast, steadfast
In the moment of emptiness
All was fulfilled
In the hour of darkness
Your light was revealed
In the presence of death
Your life was affirmed
In the absence of holiness,
You are still God.
You are steadfast, steadfast
You are steadfast, steadfast.
I discovered these songs during Advent, preparing for my CCD teaching lesson. Kids loved it, sang, danced, ... and learned about Bible stories. 7th graders: teens, but still kids. Great for multiple intelligence lesson plan preparation! music2017 Zuzka

My small children and I both love this album, which is an achievement in itself. But more than its wide appeal, it's rooted in the very language and heart of the Bible, which makes it very special indeed. Sylvia Maike
