Guess I had to find out the hard way. The things that I have come here to learn. Fire of this pleasure it can warm me. But in the end it only burns. He could put me high on a pedestal. He could rob me of my shame. He could hold me down under water. Till I could not remember my own name. In my mind I see the house I’m buildin’. In my hands the hammer and the nail. Gonna send my wishes up to Glory. Gonna shake that devil off my trail. In my time I’ve done some meanness. Brought the ones I love so much pain. Pride it was eatin’ all my heart away. My soul it was rustin’ in the rain. And all these sins I am confessin’. They still come knockin’ on my door. But I know better than to answer. I tell them that girl don’t live here anymore. In my mind I see the house I’m buildin’. In my hands the hammer and the nail. Gonna send my wishes up to Glory. Gonna shake that devil off my trail. Every livin’ thing is callin’ out to me. The leaves on the trees wave me on. Got a wind to lift me when I’m fallin’. Got a road to put my feet upon. In my mind I see the house I’m buildin’. In my hands the hammer and the nail. Gonna send my wishes up to Glory. Gonna shake that devil off my trail. In my mind I see the house I’m buildin’. In my hands the hammer and the nail. Gonna send my wishes up to Glory. Gonna shake that devil off my trail. Gonna shake that devil off my trail. Gonna shake that devil off my trail
