This is a song based on a buddhist text, and a christian church style song.  Great to see the mixing of traditions.

Lyrics:

Through birth and rebirth's endless round,
I ran and sought but never found
Who framed and built this house of clay
what misery rebirth always

O builder you at last I see
Ne'er shall you build again for me
Your rafters all are broken now,
Demolished the ridge lies low

And when the builder I can see;
Then this my last abode shall be:
Desire will end, all lust will cease,
And with their end my heart have peace.

Music by Daniel Read, Translations by Charles Lanman and Paul Carus,
