The Christian journey is one filled with ups and downs, but as the Bible states, God will never leave nor forsake us. This powerful message of hope and resilience is vividly depicted in Hope Darst’s official music video, “If the Lord Builds the House.”
The video starts with a family of four – a mother, father, and two daughters – preparing and eventually leaving for church. This simple yet significant scene shows the importance of family and faith in building a strong foundation. Throughout the video, the camera captures the mother reading and turning the pages of the Bible, highlighting the importance of God’s Word in our lives. A Bible resting on the car’s dashboard and another one in the back of a church pew further reiterate this message.
The lyrics of the song eloquently express the struggles many face when relying on their own strength and abilities, which often leads to disappointment and failure. However, the chorus of the song declares a powerful truth: “Cause if the Lord builds the house, Nobody can tear it down. If the Lord builds the house, Nobody can tear it down.” This reaffirms the message that building our lives on Jesus, who is the way, the truth, and the life, ensures a solid and unshakeable foundation.
Luke 6:48 reinforces this message: “He is like a man building a house, who dug and went deep, and laid a foundation on the rock. When a flood arose, the stream broke against that house, and could not shake it, because it was founded on the rock.” This scripture reminds us that when we build our lives on the rock that is Jesus Christ, no storm, no matter how ferocious, can bring us down.
The video and song encourage us to rely on God’s strength and power, rather than our own, as we build our lives and face life’s challenges. As we watch the family in the video, we are reminded of the importance of instilling these values in our children and loved ones.
This inspiring music video serves as a reminder that God is the solid foundation for our lives, and building on that foundation ensures a life that remains standing, no matter the storms that may come our way.
