Buildin' Me a Home Lyrics

I'm buildin' me a home
I'm buildin' me a home
I'm buildin' me a home
I'm buildin' me a home
This earthly heart
Is gonna soon decay
And the soul's gotta have, oh Lord, somewhere to stay

When you hear me prayin'
I'm buildin' me a home
When you hear me prayin'
I'm buildin' me a home
This earthly heart
Is gonna soon decay
And the soul's gotta have, oh Lord, somewhere to stay

There's too many dangers, toils and snares
I have already gone
But his grace fills my heart with fear
And I know he's gonna bring me home

When you hear me moanin'
I'm buildin' me a home
When you hear me moanin'
I'm buildin' me a home
This earthly heart
Is gonna soon decay
And the soul's gotta have, oh Lord, somewhere to stay

When you hear me shoutin'
I'm buildin' me a home
When you hear me shoutin'
This earthly heart
Is gonna soon decay
And the soul's gotta have oh Lord somewhere to stay
And my soul's gotta have, oh Lord, somewhere to stay

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
