Lyrics

All:
Strengthen the dwelling of the Lord
Fashion the wayward ford by ford
Here in His image now we stand
Building His fortress long and grand

Anthony:
It is written that the-

All:
Body and mind of mortal man
Should walk in the spirit of His master plan
So we must strengthen the dwelling of the Lord
Fashion the wayward ford by ford

It is written that the
Body and mind of mortal man
Should walk in the spirit of His master plan
So we must strengthen the dwelling of the Lord
Fashion the wayward ford by ford
