Cedar and Stone

By Andrew Ripp

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
