When my earthly home is torn down There's a new place that I'll land I'll be welcomed into the house not made with hands When the temple my soul dwells in Returns to dust and sand I will move into the house not made with hands In the house, in the house Ev'ry school child understands You get to live again In the house not made with hands When I was young and bold and reckless I said: "I'm an invincible man Who in the world needs a house not made with hands? But when you've spun all of the bottles And kicked all of the cans It's mighty good to see the house not made with hands There were days when I gave up hope Thinkin' I don't stand a chance Of ever walkin' into the house not made with hands Though they were times I lost my rhythm And my feet just wouldn't dance Now I believe I'll waltz into the house not made with hands All the good times I believed that The whole world watched me dance They're forgotten in the house not made with hands So when I've come to the completion Of all my silly plans We'll be laughin' in the house not made with hands In the house, in the house Ev'ry school child understands You'll see some long lost friends In the house not made with hands
