“Love Raised the Roof “ Words and Music by Marty Falle

ISRC: TCAJX2565021 (3:06)

Verse 1

It was late in the evening when the flames touched the sky, Watched the homeplace crumble, couldn’t help but cry.

Daddy held Mama, said, “We’ll find a way,” But the good Lord’s mercy was already on its way.

Chorus             

So they came with their hammers, their saws, and their hands. Built up the walls on this Promised land

With hearts full of kindness and calloused worn palms. Love raised the roof and the barn

Verse 2
The men swung the timbers, the women baked bread, Children ran laughing ‘round the old riverbed.
Nobody questioned, nobody asked why, Just working together ‘neath a bright Bluegrass sky.

Pre-Chorus
And every nail driven, every board laid, Was a prayer in action, a debt repaid.   Oh oh oh

Verse 3
When the sun finally set, the house stood tall, A home filled with love, built by one and by all.
Mama wiped tears, said, “God’s hands were here,” And we all bowed our heads ‘cause His presence was clear

Chorus             
Now when the wind blows through the valley so wide. I hear voices of angels in the rafters inside
A house built with love will forever stand strong. Love raised the roof and the barn. Love raised the roof and the barn
