Lyrics

The (F)wise ish man built his (C)house up on the rock, the (C)wise ish man built his (F)house up on the rock, the wise ish man built his (C)house up on the rock, and the (Gm)rains came (C)tum bling (F)down.

The rains ings came down and the (C)floods came up, the (C)rains ings came down and the (F)floods came up, the (F)rains came down and the (C)floods came up, and the (Gm)house on the (C)rock stood (F)firm.

The (F)fool ish man built his (C)house up on the sand, the (C)fool ish man built his (F)house up on the sand, the fool ish man built his (C)house up on the sand, and the (Gm)rains came (C)tum bling (F)down.

The rains ings came down and the (C)floods came up, the (C)rains ings came down and the (F)floods came up, the (F)rains came down and the (C)floods came up, and the (Gm)house on the (C)sand fell (F)flat.

So (Gm)build your (C)life on the (F)Lord.
