1. 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.
2. 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 house on the rock stood still.
3. 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 rains came tumbling down.
4. The rain came down, and the floods came up,
The rain came down, and the floods came up,
The rain came down, and the floods came up,
And the foolish man’s house went « splat ! »
5. 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.
6. Oh, the blessings come down as your prayers go up,
The blessings come down as your prayers go up,
The blessings come down as your prayer go up,
So build your house on the Lord Jesus Christ.
