Building a house from scratch is much easier
Than taking an already built structure and having to renovate
But I know it's necessary, change what needs to be changed
There's a lot wrong here to fix

The work will be long and hard, I know
But this renovation will put You here inside again
Do whatever is necessary, change what needs to be changed
Do what I don't know

My foundation was damaged
And the roof is all cracked
And the plumbing where the water passes
Is old, is bad and is all broken

There's no wiring anymore
It's without energy, without maintenance
Start this urgent renovation in me

And the doors of the house and even the windows
Are destroyed, they no longer close
And this made it easy for the enemy
To steal my crown, salvation at risk

From now on, Jesus, I surrender
The key to the house, because I know it's right
If it has Your hands, it has success

Start the work in me
Knock everything down, you can renovate
You are a master builder so experienced in restoring
And my house is only you who knows how to renovate

Start the work in me
And make my house a reference
May my foundation be sustained with Your presence
May the structure of the house be Your word established in me

I am a temple, I am a house and dwelling of the Holy Spirit
But how many times I neglect this privilege
I don't fix the cracks
And these infiltrations will corrupt my character

With the absence of Christ in my house I got comfortable
I let the dirt in, look where I got
But it's not irreversible, with this renovation it's still possible
Jesus to dwell here inside again

Firm my foundation in Your word
And may my faith redo my roof
Urgently fix the plumbing
Bring the water of life to my heart

Jesus, please, change the wiring
So that the light returns to my heart
So I can discern what comes from the dark

May the doors and windows of my soul
With vigilance be restored
And may prayer reinforce security
So the thief doesn't steal my inheritance

I give you command of everything, then
The key to the house is in your hands
I give you control
For my heart

Start the work in me
Knock everything down, you can renovate
You are a master builder so experienced in restoring
And my house is only you who knows how to renovate

Start the work in me
And make my house a reference
May my foundation be sustained with Your presence
May the structure of the house be Your word established in me

Jesus, may the structure of the house be Your word established in me
May the structure of the house be Your word established in me
