Lyrics
Everyone who hears these words of mine
And puts them into practice
Is like a wise man, a really wise man
Who built his house upon the rock.
The rain came down, the streams arose,
And the strong winds blew
And beat against that house.
The rain came down, the streams arose,
And the strong winds blew
And beat against that house
But it did not fall for it was built on the rock.
Everyone who hears these words of mine
And does not put them into practice
Is like a foolish man, a really foolish man
Who built his house upon the sand.
The rain came down, the streams arose,
And the strong winds blew
And beat against that house.
The rain came down, the streams arose,
And the strong winds blew
And beat against that house
But that fool's house fell for it was built on the sand.
So, now that you have heard these words of mine
Please put them into practice
For when the rain comes down
And the streams arise
And the strong winds blow and beat against your house
When the rain comes down
And the streams arise
And the strong winds blow and beat against your house
Then it will not fall-- if it is built on the rock.
So build your house upon the rock!
