Robin Mark House of the Lord song lyrics

There's a house on the hill and it has'nt been lived in for a long long time.

And the windows are all broken, and the paint it's lost it's shine

And there's nothing ever heard there

For there's nothing every said

For the life of the house left a long time ago and the heart of the house is dead

Oh house of the Lord, can't you feel it how our heart is growing cold

When the spirit comes he quickens

When the spirit leaves life goes

There's a room at the top and the door has been locked and it will never open up

For no matter who will knock, well it always stays tight shut

And there's no one ever answered, so now there's no one ever goes

For the room in the house, shut a long time ago

And the mind of the house is closed

There's a room in the house, where the fire used to burn and the children used to play, and the family would gather, to hear the words the father said

But now the room is cold and empty

And the embers glow faint red

For the fire of the house, failed a long time ago, and the heart of the house is dead
