House not Made with Hands

When my earthly home is torn down

There's a new place that I'll land

I'll be welcomed into the house not made with hands

When the temple my soul dwells in

Returns to dust and sand

I will move into the house not made with hands

In the house, in the house

Ev'ry school child understands

You get to live again

In the house not made with hands

When I was young and bold and reckless

I said: "I'm an invincible man

Who in the world needs a house not made with hands?"

But when you've spun all of the bottles

And kicked all of the cans

It's mighty good to see the house not made with hands

There were days when I gave up hope

Thinkin' I don't stand a chance

Of ever walkin' into the house not made with hands

Though they were times I lost my rhythm

And my feet just wouldn't dance

Now I believe I'll waltz into the house not made with hands

All the good times I believed that

The whole world watched me dance

They're forgotten in the house not made with hands

So when I've come to the completion

Of all my silly plans

We'll be laughin' in the house not made with hands

In the house, in the house

Ev'ry school child understands

You'll see some long lost friends

In the house not made with hands
