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 rains came tumbling down.
The rains came down and the floods cam up,
The rains came down and the floods cam up,
The rains came down and the floods cam up,
And the house on the rock stood firm!

The foolish built his house upon the sand,
The foolish built his house upon the sand,
The foolish built his house upon the sand,
And the rains came tumbling down.
The rains came down and the floods cam up,
The rains came down and the floods cam up,
The rains came down and the floods cam up,
And the house on the sand went smash!

So build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ,
So build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ,
So build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ,
And the blessings will come down.
The blessings come down as your prayers go up,
The blessings come down as your prayers go up,
The blessings come down as your prayers go up,
So build your life on the Lord.
