Strong Determination
by Phillips, Craig & Dean

Album: Lifeline
by Phillips, Craig & Dean

I've got a friend who says
He's gonna build a house
He's in love with a pretty lady
Now he's ready to settle down
I wonder if he knows
It takes more than wood or stone
To build a house that will stand
When the storms begin to blow

'Cause in the course of a life
Things don't always go as planned
And the dreams that began
With a kiss and a prayer
Can slip right through your hands

It takes a strong determination
A trust that never dies
The courage to forgive
And a heart that reconciles
A life full of devotion
A faith that won't give up
It takes a strong determination
To build a house of love

Yes, it's been said before
'Cause it's forever true
Good things take a lot of patience
If you're gonna see them through
So much depends on us
And what we invest through the years
When the fire is an ember
When the laughter's touched by tears

'Cause it's easy to love
When you've just fallen in
But the years take a toll
And you've got to hold on
To finish what you begin

It takes a strong determination
A trust that never dies
The courage to forgive
And a heart that reconciles
A life full of devotion
A faith that won't give up
It takes a strong determination
To build a house of love

A life full of devotion
A faith that won't give up
It takes a strong determination
To build a house of love
