Your House Instead

My mighty Hashem!
I sense a willingness to give my head a rest.
My home is decrepit and falling.
Seemingly, ready to collapse.
I haul water, I clean, as my family does daily.
The wrong turns taken, or is it something else, maybe?
I am tired, weak and diseased, my Hashem.
I sleep on the floor, but my family is raised up on beds.
Praise your mighty name they do not have to sleep my way.
Yet, please do me a supreme honor, my faithful Hashem.
Let your house be built first instead.
A bed for my head to rest, can wait a bit longer.
My desire to visit your house is so very much stronger.
Yes, let your house be built first instead.
Let your word be shown to be true.
Then I can truly rest my body and head.
My Hashem, please, let your house be built first instead.
