A House Becomes a Home

A House Becomes a Home

A house becomes a home when there's love inside,
When you let your love be as a guide.
When there's joy and sweet understanding,
When you're handing out a compliment or two.
A house becomes a home when you do your part,
And when all your heart is wrapped in those around.
Life can be just like a symphony
When you see a house become a home.

A house becomes a home when its prayerful there,
When for everyone there is a care.
When each one is kind and forgiving,
When you're living for some happiness to share.
A house becomes a home when it's full of life,
When there is no strife among it's very own.
Life can be so sweet and heavenly
When you see a house become a home.

This song was a staple of each Family Home Evening. I remember Mom at the piano and the rest of us dutifully singing the words to this song. I'm sure Mom always wished we would heed the words in the song a little more...I'm sure that is why we sang it every week.
