Lyrics
Verse 1
Here we are at the start committing to each other
By His word and from our hearts
We will be a family in a house that will be a home
And with faith we'll build it strong
Chorus
We'll build a household of faith
That together we can make
And when the strong winds blow it won't fall down
As one in Him we'll grow and the whole world will know
We are a household of faith
Verse 2
Now to be a family we've got to love each other
At any cost unselfishly
And our home must be a place that fully abounds with grace
A reflection of His face
Chorus
We'll build a household of faith
That together we can make
And when the strong winds blow it won't fall down
As one in Him we'll grow and the whole world will know
We are a household of faith

Meaning & Inspiration
Household Of Faith is a song about starting a marriage and building a home on faith. The first verse describes a couple at the beginning, committing to each other by His word and from the heart, becoming a family in a house that will be a home and building it strong with faith. The chorus pictures a household that does not fall when the strong winds blow, growing as one in Him so that the whole world will know they are a household of faith.
The second verse adds that being a family means loving each other at any cost without selfishness, and that the home should be a place that abounds with grace and reflects His face. The imagery follows Matthew 7:24-25 on the house built on the rock that stands through the storm, Joshua 24:15 on serving the Lord as a household, and Colossians 3:14 on love binding everything together. The gentle melody and hopeful wording make it a fitting song for a wedding or family dedication.
