The world is loud outside our door
it's always trying to get in
The TV's got an agenda and the phone's a constant din
The pressure on my children is a weight I feel as a parent
And some days I wonder if I'm doing enough to make God apparent
In the way we eat together
in the way we speak to one another
In the way we handle conflict
am I showing them the Father?
I don't have a perfect household
Lord knows we've had our days
But we made a declaration and we're choosing to live in that place
As for me and my house
we will serve the Lord
As for me and my house
this is common ground
As for me and my house
we have made our choice
We choose the God of Joshua
in this house, His voice
It won't always be perfect
but the banner has been raised
We are a house of prayer, a house of love, a house of praise
As for me and my house
we will serve the Lord
I laid hands on every doorpost prayed over every room
Prayed over every bed my children sleep in covered them from doom
I pray for the people who come through our door that they feel the peace
I pray the atmosphere in here is different that the chaos has to cease
Because a house is more than drywall
it's the atmosphere you build
It's the words you speak over each other
the way you love in the field
Of the ordinary Tuesday the argument that you resolve
The forgiveness that you practice the grace you choose to evolve
As for me and my house — we will serve the Lord
As for me and my house — this is common ground
As for me and my house — we have made our choice
We choose the God of Joshua — in this house, His voice
It won't always be perfect — but the banner has been raised
We are a house of prayer, a house of love, a house of praise
As for me and my house — we will serve the Lord
Unless the Lord builds the house — the builders labor in vain
Unless the Lord guards the city — the watchmen wake in vain
So Lord, come build this house — come be the cornerstone
Come dwell within these walls — don't let our family stand alone
I speak life over my children — I speak peace over my marriage
I speak blessing over this roof — let Your glory be the carriage
That carries us from generation to generation — a legacy of faith
As for me and my house — we've chosen — we've chosen — we've chosen Your grace
As for me and my house — we will serve the Lord
As for me and my house — we are planted in His Word
As for me and my house — every knee bows in this place
As for me and my house — we are covered in His grace
Choose you this day — choose you this day — who you will serve
As for me and my house — as for me and my house
We will serve — we will serve — we will serve the Lord
