Text:The Builder's Song

4. The Builder's Song

The wise man built his house upon the rock.
The wise man built his house upon the rock.
The wise man built his house upon the rock,
And the rain came tumbling down.
The rains came down and the floods came up.
The rains came down and the floods came up.
The rains came down and the floods came up,
And the wise's man's house stood firm.

The foolish man built his house upon the sand.
The foolish man built his house upon the sand.
The foolish man built his house upon the sand,
And the rain came tumbling down.
The rains came down and the floods came up.
The rains came down and the floods came up.
The rains came down and the floods came up,
And the foolish man's house went splash.

So build your house on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Build your house on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Build your house on the Lord Jesus Christ,
And the blessings will come down.
The blessings come down and the prayers go up.
The blessings come down and the prayers go up.
The blessings come down and the prayers go up,
So build your house on the Lord Jesus Christ.
