Turn my house into a home

I just moved here, I'm from out of town...
How can I make this old house into a home?
I don't know anyone and no one knows me,
I just have to show myself friendly!

This old house just needs some new love,
So the first thing I will do is ask God:
Father, thank you for giving me my new home,
I want it to be a place for others to go,

A lighthouse to reach out to the lost,
A place where Your kingdom is the cause,
I pray that the Truth of who Jesus is reigns,
I pray that my neighbors and new friends are saved!

       Jesus, no matter where you lead me or where we go,
       I want You here: Please turn my house into a home!

1 Corinthians 6
[19] What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
[20] For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Proverbs 18
[24] A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.
