There’s a ramshackle hut here, it’s holding my heart
It’s not much to look at, it’s damp and it’s dark
The roof beams are falling, the draft keeps me ill
But it’s yours, do what you will
Well I know what you’d promised, you’d move in today
Despite all the mess here compared where you came
So I hesitate gently, and hope you’ll fulfill…
It’s yours, do what you will
But now dusk chokes, and everything’s scattered
You’ve made quite a mess here, Good God what’s the matter?
I see no connection to words that I’ve read
Now “Sit Down” and “Hush up” are your words in my head
Dear Jesus, I trust you, you do what you say
You won’t leave me lonely, you won’t let me stay
Here at your feet I will wait while you build
‘cause it’s yours, do what you will
