High above the sandy beach,
Where no sudden wave can shock,
Where no beating tide can reach?
Refrain:
Are you hearing and obeying?
Are you working, watching, praying?
Tell me, does your dwelling stand
On the rock, or on the sand?
2 Like the tides years come and go;
Tell me, are you very sure
That they will not overthrow
Much that seemed at first secure? [Refrain]
3 Lay with patience, faith and pray’r
Your foundations, deep and wide;
Build thereon with watchful care,
Far above the angry tide. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Are you building on the Rock]
Are You Building On the Rock?
