To Build

Start with the foundation,
Make it strong and stout.
Make sure to build it on the Rock,
And it will never fall.
On top of that we must add faith,
So it will go up tall and proud.
Kindness, gentleness, goodness, love;
We must use them all.
Now this takes time, that's for sure,
So patience must be plenty.
Top it off with a prayer and some wisdom,
And fill it with the Spirit.
