Chorus

Bridge:
Christ said to Peter,
"upon this rock, I'll build my church"
the devil in hell can't shake it,
the prayers of the righteous are filled in there.

Preachers a preaching the gospel,
choirs singing praise,
the windows are beaming
with a light from heaven
and the walls are filled with praise;
I'd rather dwell...

Vamp 1:
I'd rather dwell in the house.

Vamp 2:
In the house,
in the house.

Ending:
I'd rather dwell in the house of the Lord,
than to dwell in the tents of the wicked.
