House Of The Lord
by Phil Wickham
Theology & Meaning
This song celebrates the joy of gathering as the people of God who have been set free. It contrasts past bondage with present freedom and emphasizes that joy is rooted in what God has done. The tone is bright and invitational.
Worship Leadership Tips
Use this as an opener when you want to create a joyful atmosphere that is still grounded in the gospel. It works well on baptism Sundays or church anniversary celebrations. Encourage your team to model genuine joy rather than hype.
Arrangement Tips
Keep the groove tight and make sure the rhythm section supports congregational singing. Hand claps or simple movement can help participation if that fits your culture. Do not rush the tempo; let the joy feel relaxed and confident.
