Lyrics
The acequia behind the house on Canyon Road
Jumped its banks the August your thunder rolled.
The old cottonwood came down, tore the roofline bare,
Left a silence hanging in the sharp piñon air.
[Chorus]
You are the plumb line for my heart,
The spirit level when I fall apart.
Setting the frame right, pulling the crooked straight,
Your grace is the cornerstone, my saving weight.
[Verse 2]
You said, “This house has bad bones,” and walked away,
Left a pile of splinters in the light of day.

[Chorus]
You are the plumb line for my heart,
The spirit level when I fall apart.
Setting the frame right, pulling the crooked straight,
Your grace is the cornerstone, my saving weight.
[Outro]
Yeah, my hands are mending.
This good house is standing.
