These are the steps that Ruth built
|
Loving kindness in each nail
|
Planks that never trip the feet
|
Lead you from the shady street
|
Or the winter's gale
|
|
Behind the bright red door
|
Across a smooth wood floor
|
Strewn with seas of scattered shoes
|
The music sweet and clear
|
Delighful to your ear
|
Siren's song you can't refuse
|
|
This is the band that Dave built
|
Song that spills into the town
|
Joy and hope in every note
|
Melodies that seem to float
|
Up the stairs and down
|
|
And a whirlwind of Elizabeth
|
To blow an order on the chaos
|
Warm as any southern zephyr
|
Welcome as the sun in spring
|
The magic of a giving heart
|
That beats a rhythm for the household
|
Rippling like golden water
|
Through the music that they sing
|
|
This is the house that love built
|
Love and music hope and soul
|
Come and share it and renew
|
Carry it away with you
|
To keep your spirit whole
|
