Subject: Lyr Add: WHERE WILL YOU BUILD
WHERE WILL YOU BUILD
C. Louvin / I. Louvin
As sung by The Louvin Brothers on "Louvin Brothers, Vol. 1: The Family Who Prays" (2011)

CHORUS: Where will you build, friend; where will you build?
On the sinking sand, on the rock on the hill?
Through the rain and storm, will your building stand?
It's sure to fall if you're building on the sand.

Jesus spoke in parables that we might understand
Of the foolish man that built his house upon the sand.
When the rain and storm came down and beat upon that house,
Jesus said it fell and great was its fall.

Then Jesus teaching his disciples spoke of the man,
The wise man that built his house upon the solid rock.
When the rain and storm came down and beat upon that house,
Jesus tells us in his word that house will knock(?).
