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
