The Wise And Foolish Builder Lyrics

Jesus said

Let me tell ya what the people are like

Who come to me

And hear my words

And put them into practice

They're like a wise man who dug down deep and built his house on the rock

When the rain and the floods came rushing in

When the rivers rose and when the winds blew and beat against that house

It didn't fall

Because its foundation was the Rock

But those who ignore Jesus

Those who hear his words

But turn the other way and don't put them into practice

Are like a foolish man

Who built his house on the sand

The rain and the floods came

And the winds beat against it and it fell

And great was its fall

Yeah

Quick sticks

Building bricks

Gotta quick fix mix gonna make it stick yeah

No time for planning

Just jammin

Gonna get this house all grouse real quick

No plans

Just cruising man

Gonna build this house on the sand because I can

Who cares

Get my chair

Chuck that slab on the sand looks grand

But wait

Stormy weather thought I'd never

See it go south forever but what's better

I tell you what it's Jesus

It's a life on the rock with him

Life with him now and life in heaven forever

Build ya house on the rock

Chop chop because he

Took the cross

Went boss paid the cost

Because he

Is the Rock

With his flock

His stock

Because he

Took the cross

On the cross

Never lost

So be

Build ya house on the rock

Chop chop because he

Took the cross

Went boss paid the cost

Because he

Is the Rock

With his flock

His stock

Because he

Break it down

Because my God's what up is he

Of course he is

Let me hear it

Because we're never gonna

Never gonna stop

Never gonna stop keeping Jesus as our Rock

Because we're never gonna

Never gonna stop

Never gonna thirst because he's water from the Rock

Because we're never gonna

Never gonna stop

Never gonna stop keeping Jesus as our Rock

Because we're never gonna

Never gonna stop

Never gonna thirst because he's water from the Rock now

We've got a choice

We can honour Jesus as King of our lives

As the only true foundation

The Rock

And live for Him

Or we can build our lives on the sand

On the things that won't last

The things that should come second or third

Or far further down the list

I'm telling you now they're going to fade away

Let's choose Jesus
