First, ruts in the mud…
Made by tire tracks digging in…
And then a Porta-Potty!!
On a New Construction Site!!
Yipee…
Building…
Is Back!!
The economy is slowly picking up again!!
Never thought I’d be happy…
To see a Porta-Potty…
On my walk around my…
Usually lush, green neighborhood…
But, it just goes to show you…
That everything is relative!
Not a very pretty sight…
But…
The Porta-Potty means building is going on…
In our spiritual lives…
Building’s going on all the time!
Listen to:
“You Build Us Back” by the Newsboys
Here are the lyrics…
“We’ve been crumbled…
We’ve been crushed…
City walls have turned to dust!
Broken hands…
And blistered feet…
We walk for miles to find relief!
When the thief takes…
When our hopes cave…
You Build Us Back!
When the earth shakes…
When the world breaks…
You Build Us Back!
We are scared…
We are poor…
All our safety nets are torn!
We’ve been humbled to our knees…
From these ruins…
We believe!
Redeemer…
Redeem us!
Restorer…
Restore us!
Oh! Build Us Back!
Though the mountains be shaken…
The hills be removed…
Your unfailing love remains!
After all that’s been taken…
Your promise…
Still sacred!
You Build Us Back…
With precious stones!”
Build Us Back, Lord!
And Our Economy, too! Amen!
