Bm   A/C#  D

Bm                  A/C#
Maybe I push when I meant to be still
G                   Em7
Maybe I take it all too personal
Bm         A/C#          D
    Jesus, how to reconcile
    Bm                A/C#
The joyful noise, the ancient land
       G                Em7
The tug from some invisible hand
    Bm           A/C#            Em7
The dying mother weaving bulrushes
          G
Along the Nile

D         A/C#             Bm
Float her basket over the sea
          G                      A
Here on a barren shore, we'll be waiting for
  D           A/C#                Bm
A tailwind to carry her orphan's cry

Don't you worry child, I wrote a lullaby

I try to settle, but I just pass through
     G        Em7                Bm
A rain dog, a gypsy, a wandering Jew
          A/C#             D
All those homes where not ours
       Bm                 A/C#
Then I slept one night in Abraham's field
    G                   Em7               Bm     A/C#
And dreamt there was no moon the night he died
         G
Counting stars, Selah
 
Chorus to Bridge: G

    Building you a home, building you a home

Building you a home, we're Building you a home, Selah
