Lyrics for 'The Wise Man Built His House Upon the Rock'
The actions for the song are italicized in a matching color.
The wise man built his house upon the rock,
The wise man built his house upon the rock,
The wise man built his house upon the rock,
And the rains came tumbling down.
{Pound one fist on top of the other to the beat of the song}
{Wiggle the fingers of both hands while moving hands downward}
The rains came down and the floods came up,
The rains came down and the floods came up,
The rains came down and the floods came up,
And the house on the rock stood firm.
{With your palms up, raise your hands in an upward motion}
{Hands form rooftop}
{Pound your fists together once and hold in place}
The foolish man built his house upon the sand,
The foolish man built his house upon the sand,
The foolish man built his house upon the sand,
And the rains came tumbling down.
The rains came down and the floods came up,
The rains came down and the floods came up,
The rains came down and the floods came up,
And the house on the sand went "CRASH!"
{Slap the palms of your hands together}
So, build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ,
Build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ,
Build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ,
And the blessings will come down.
The blessings will come down as the prayers go up,
The blessings will come down as the prayers go up,
The blessings will come down as the prayers go up,
So, build your life on the Lord.
