A Good House
Verse 1
Peace like a river - steadily flowing
Love like a circle - never-ending
Joy like a light bulb - shining brightly
Hope like a rainbow - full of promise
Laughter like a surprise - oh, so sweet
Faith like a fruit - very beneficial
Conversations like a novel
Always different each time it's real
Verse 2
It's built of more than bricks
It's built of more than stone
Windows so large
You can see the opening of its soul
Doors are portals into its generous heart
Harsh words don't exist
What is heard are beautiful ballads
Downstairs, upstairs - there's no difference
Wherever you are
Is just as good as any room
The exterior reveals much, but not all
Step inside to see and feel what goes on
Bridge
It's not for rent, it's not for sale
You can build your own
That way you can customize every square foot
You become the architect and the builder
The best investment you will ever make
Is owning a good house
Chorus
A good house has been built
With a solid foundation
And when storms pass through
It will still be standing
Those who live inside the house
Will turn it into a home
The one that everyone in the neighbourhood
Is envious of
