As for Me and My House

What This Song Teaches Us About God

This song draws from Joshua’s public declaration before the nation of Israel — a whole-household, whole-hearted commitment to follow God. It puts that declaration in our mouths. Following God is a decision made actively, repeatedly, and out loud. The song pushes back against the idea that faith is just a personal preference — it frames the household as a place where God’s lordship is intentionally established.

The boldness here is also a celebration. When a family commits to honoring God at the center of their home, it’s the foundation of everything. There’s peace and purpose in that kind of rooted commitment.
