Owl City – If My Heart Was A House

Happy day, friends, and thanks for stopping by my website! I’ve been wanting to share my thoughts about this song by Owl City for a long time now. It’s one of the first fandom songs that pointed me to Scripture, and it’s still very close to my heart.

Verses: Deuteronomy 33:27, Isaiah 30:21, John 14:23
