Lyrics: Turn Over the Tables in My Heart – Wesley Randolph Eader

Artist: Wesley Randolph Eader
Album: Of Old It Was Recorded

Turn over the tables in my heart
Scatter the coins that Caesar claims
Cleanse this holy temple of its money lending schemes
Let righteous anger fill these courts again

Chorus
And Lord send your zealous heart, tear this sinful one apart
I’m sinking like a house upon the sand
Oh and build me as a house of prayer, tower free from earthly cares
Oh set me on the rock where Jesus stands
Oh please set me on the rock where Jesus stands

In three days the temple was destroyed, prettier and stronger it now stands
The nail-scarred hands of Jesus built it to be so
Now it dwells in the hearts of sinful man

Chorus
Oh and Lord send your zealous heart, tear this sinful one apart.
I’m sinking like a house upon the sand
Oh and build me as a house of prayer, tower free from earthly cares
Oh set me on the rock where Jesus stands
Oh please set me on the rock where Jesus stands

Now open the cages and let the doves fly free
Your promise is the wind under our wings
Rejoice for the law has been lifted evermore
And the saints are free to dance on that distant golden shore

Chorus
Oh and Lord send your zealous heart, tear this sinful one apart.
I’m sinking like a house upon the sand
Oh and build me as a house of prayer, tower free from earthly cares
Oh set me on the rock where Jesus stands
Oh please set me on the rock where Jesus stands

Yes Lord send your zealous heart, tear this sinful one apart
I’m sinking like a house upon the sand
Oh and build me as a house of prayer, tower free from earthly cares
Oh set me on the rock where Jesus stands
Oh please set me on the rock where Jesus stands

The Simplest Solution

Last week my headphones started misbehaving in a very annoying way. I could only hear sound out of the right earphone.

Reset my computer, then try all the […]
