Andrew Ripp - Cedar and Stone Lyrics

Stacking the rocks upon the river of Jordan Beneath a mountain side of deep rooted trees I'm surrounded by a resilient promise Stretching the sky and plumbing the sea

But oh my heart has been Exposed to the elements I need a heaven sent Strength again

Spirit of God in this flesh and bone Tear down the house and make me a home Built by a love that can weather the storm Strong as a shelter of cedar and stone

Lord I've been standing on the edge of erosion The ocean reaching for my castle of sand I didn't know that all these waves of destruction Were making way for something stronger to stand

But oh my heart has been Exposed to the elements I need a heaven sent Strength again

Spirit of God in this flesh and bone Tear down the house and make me a home Built by a love that can weather the storm Strong as a shelter of cedar and stone

Build me a place up high above the waters Safe like a harbor when the rain comes down Build me a place where time just makes it stronger Winds begin to holler but it won't come down

Build me a place up high above the waters Safe like a harbor when the rain comes down Build me a place where time just makes it stronger Winds begin to holler but it won't come down

Spirit of God in this flesh and bone Tear down the house and make me a home Built by a love that can weather the storm Strong as a shelter of cedar and stone Built by a love that can weather the storm Strong as a shelter of cedar and stone
