Verse 1

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 I know
But hope ain't built
On sinking sand

Pre Chorus

You could lay bricks
You could dig a foundation
You could build up
Ten thousand feet tall
But if it don't stand
On the word of the Lord
This house's 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's 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

Verse 4

And you can give
It all away
You can even do it in Jesus' name
But without love
You're gonna do it alone

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's gonna fall

The sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus' name
