The first two poems are longer poems you may like to use as a housewarming gift, rather than in a card. Although you can still use them in cards if you want to. If you'd like to use a poem based on the scripture above (Joshua 24:14-15), click on Joshua 24:14-15 to read it - or listen to it, if you prefer.
It’s The Lord That Builds Your Home
God's love is what makes a house
A home where you can live
And His love is the foundation
And the tool He builds with
Let Him be the one who builds
Your house to be a place
Where others find the warmth of love
And acceptance by His grace
For when you try to build your home
With what you know won’t last,
You may end up building your future
From the surplus of your past
But see this as a new beginning,
A new life to pursue;
A fresh new start and future hope
That God has given you.

The Lordship Of Christ In Our Homes
May God’s peace be upon this house
That God has blessed you with,
A home that reflects His awesome love
And the grace He freely gives
May it be a home with open doors
That welcomes strangers in
And makes them feel loved and accepted
Knowing that God dwells within
Our homes should be more than a house
Where we live day by day
It should be a place where God can reign
And precious memories are made
For as we establish in our homes
The Lordship of Jesus Christ,
We invite His presence to come and dwell
And fill each room inside
So as we continue to lift up the Lord
In every part of our lives,
It’s then our homes will reflect the faith
And hope we have in Christ.

We pray this home will be a place
Of serenity and peace,
Somewhere to get away from all
The stress and pressing needs
And that this home will be a refuge
From life’s fast and busy pace,
With every room a reminder of
God’s awesome love and grace.

May God bless your new home
As you honour Him as Lord
And build upon the foundation
That’s unshakable and sure
As you establish His sovereign reign
And lift Him up in this place,
He will bless your lives so much
And fill you with His grace.

This is so wonderful
And clearly demonstrates
The work the Lord has begun
Your beautiful new home
Is such a testimony
Of what the Lord has done.

The verse below is the same as above, but rewritten with the "I" & "We" changed, so individuals or groups can send the verse that they like - whichever is applicable.
