Building on the Rock

Verse 1

Are you building on the Rock, High above the sandy beach, Where no sudden wave can shock, Where no beating tide can reach?

Chorus

Are you hearing and obeying? Are you working, watching, praying? Tell me, does your dwelling stand On the rock, or on the sand?

Verse 2

Like the tides years come and go; Tell me, are you very sure That they will not overthrow Much that seemed at first secure?

Verse 3

Lay with patience, faith and pray’r Your foundations, deep and wide; Build thereon with watchful care, Far above the angry tide.
