Lyrics
A wise man built his house one day,
He built it on the rock so sure.
He dug down deep and laid it true,
On the word that will endure.
The rain came down, the rivers rose,
The wind came howling all around.
The house stood firm, it did not fall,
On the rock it held its ground.
Oh, build your house upon the Rock — (upon the Rock!)
Hear His word and do it.
Let the rain come down and the wild winds blow,
Your house will stand right through it.
Don't build your house upon the sand — (upon the sand!)
Hear His word and leave it.
When the rain comes down and the wild winds blow,
Then it all comes tumbling down.
A foolish man, he built one day
Upon the soft and shifting sand.
He heard the word but turned away,
And he would not lift a hand.
The rain came down, the rivers rose,
The wind blew wild across the sand.
The house came crashing to the ground —
And it could no longer stand.
Oh, build your house upon the Rock — (upon the Rock!)
Hear His word and do it.
Let the rain come down and the wild winds blow,
Your house will stand right through it.
Don't build your house upon the sand — (upon the sand!)
Hear His word and leave it.
When the rain comes down and the wild winds blow,
Then it all comes tumbling down.
So build it on the Rock, build it on the Rock,
Hear His word and do it.
Build it on the Rock, build it on the Rock —
And your house will stand right through it!
