[Verse 1]

          G                    D

Should nothing of our efforts stand

    Em         C

No legacy survive

G                             D

Unless the Lord does raise the house

Em         C           G

In vain its builders strive

[Verse 2]

 G                              D

To you who boast tomorrow's gain

  Em                      C

Tell me what is your life

  G                    D

A mist that vanishes at dawn

  Em     C       G

All glory be to Christ!

[Chorus]
