Build It Up
[Verse 1]
When you set out to build a mansion on the hill
Make sure your timber is sound
'Cause if your timber's light, there'll come a stormy night
And your house will come tumblin' down
[Chorus]
Why don't you...
Build it up with Jesus
Why don't you...
Build it up with Jesus
Build it up with Jesus
If you want it safe and sound
[Verse 2]
When you set out to right the damage in your lifeboat
Make sure your timber is dry
'Cause if your timber's wet, those boards will never set
And you'll surely go under the tide
[Chorus]
Why don't you...
Build it up with Jesus
Why don't you...
Build it up with Jesus
Build it up with Jesus
If you want it safe and sound
[Verse 3]
Well, workin' all alone, it's hard to get it done, boys
And no matter how hard you may try
When the carpenter of glory, as Matthew tells the story
Will help you to build on high
[Chorus]
Why don't you...
Build it up with Jesus
Why don't you...
Build it up with Jesus
Build it up with Jesus
If you want it safe and sound
[Chorus]
'Cause if you...
Build it up with Jesus
'Cause if you...
Build it up with Jesus
Build it up with Jesus
Then it won't tumble down
