Stone-ify me for Your building

Stone-ify me for Your building, I desire a home for Thee. Let me share Your dream of Bethel; Duplicate Your heart in me. Burn, refine away the nat’ral; Transformed preciousness I’d be; Lord, perfect me as a pillar, Standing solid, weightily. |

Ankle-holder, a supplanter; My demands to God I bring. If God keeps me, clothes and feeds me, Him I’ll own as God, my King. Chosen ere the earth’s foundation; “Israel,” I to blessing cling. Though I suffer, squeezed by Laban, I am sheltered ’neath Your wing. |

Ladder joining earth and heaven, Make my heart Your dwelling place. Burden me to build Your house, Lord; For this now I consecrate. Pillars stand—“He will Establish,” “In Him’s Strength”—of truth the base. Gain me to enlarge Your temple, Testimony propagate. |

While I pass through tribulations, Situations heated press. Let me see Your hand most sovereign; Oil anointing on me dress. All my days, Your presence filleth; Life and nature, God express, Leaning on You, Staff, my Shepherd, Flowing out to others bless. |
