Lyrics

This House

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Pain will come, tears will flow

Sorrow's gonna fight for my soul

But heaven knows where I stand

Rains will pour, winds will blow

Floods are gonna rise, oh, I know

But hope ain't built on sinking sand

I've seen enough to know

You could lay bricks, you could dig a foundation

You could build up 10,000 feet tall

But if it don't stand on the word of the lord

This house gonna fall

You could put a cross right up on the steeple

You could stain glass on every wall

But if it don't stand on the word of the lord

This house gonna fall

Empty words are like empty rooms

You can have it all but it only proves

That without love it's just for show

And you can give it all away

You can even do it in Jesus' name

But without love you're gonna do it alone, oh

You could lay bricks, you could dig a foundation

You could build up 10,000 feet tall

But if it don't stand on the word of the lord

This house gonna fall

You could put a cross right up on the steeple

You could stain glass on every wall

But if it don't stand on thе word of the lord

This house gonna fall

My hope is built on nothing lеss

Than Jesus' blood, my righteousness (my righteousness)

And I dare not trust the sweetest frame

But wholly lean on Jesus' name

My hope is built (my hope is built)

On nothing less (on nothing less)

Than Jesus' blood, my righteousness (my righteousness)

And I dare not trust (I dare not trust)

The sweetest frame (the sweetest frame)

But wholly lean on Jesus' name (Jesus name)

You could lay bricks, you could dig a foundation

You could build up 10,000 feet tall

But if it don't stand on the word of the lord

This house gonna fall (this house gonna fall)

You could lay bricks, you could dig a foundation

You could build up 10,000 feet tall

But if it don't stand on the word of the lord

This house gonna fall (this house gonna fall)

You could put a cross right up on the steeple

You could stain glass on every wall

But if it don't stand on the word of the lord

This house gonna fall

If it don't stand on the word of the lord

This house gonna fall
