A Reforma

Building a house from scratch is way easier
Than taking an existing structure and having to renovate
But I know it’s necessary, change what needs to be changed
There’s a lot wrong here that needs fixing

The work’s gonna be slow and tough, I know
But this renovation will bring You back inside me again
Do what needs to be done, change what needs to be changed
Do what I don’t know

My foundation’s been damaged
And the roof is all cracked
And the plumbing where the water flows
Is old, it’s bad, it’s all broken

There’s no wiring left
It’s out of power, no maintenance
This renovation in me needs to start urgently

And the doors of the house and even the windows
Are destroyed, they don’t close anymore
And that made it easy for the enemy
To steal my crown, salvation at risk

From now on, Jesus, I surrender
The key to the house, 'cause I know it’s right
If it’s in Your hands, there’s success

Start the work in me
Tear it all down, go ahead and renovate
You’re a master builder so experienced in restoring
And my house is only something You know how to renovate

Start the work in me
And make my house a reference
Let my foundation be supported by Your presence
Let the structure of the house be Your word established in me

I am a temple, I’m a house and dwelling of the Holy Spirit
But how many times have I neglected this privilege
Not fixing the cracks
And these leaks will corrupt my character

With the absence of Christ in my house, I got comfortable
I let the dirt in, look where I’ve ended up
But it’s not irreversible, with this renovation it’s still possible
For Jesus to dwell here inside me again

Establish my foundation in Your word
And let my faith rebuild my roof
Urgently fix the plumbing
Bring the water of life to my heart

Jesus, please, replace the wiring
So that the light returns to my heart
So I can discern what comes from the dark

Let the doors and windows of my soul
Be restored with vigilance
And let prayer reinforce the security
So the thief doesn’t steal my inheritance

I give You control of everything, then
The key to the house is in Your hands
I surrender the control
Of my heart

Start the work in me
Tear it all down, go ahead and renovate
You’re a master builder so experienced in restoring
And my house is only something You know how to renovate

Start the work in me
And make my house a reference
Let my foundation be supported by Your presence
Let the structure of the house be Your word established in me

Jesus, let the structure of the house be Your word established in me
Let the structure of the house be Your word established in me
