The Rock and the Sand

Verse 1

On what are you building, my brother, Your hopes of a eternal home? Is it loose, shifting sand, or the firm, solid rock, You are trusting for ages to come?

Chorus

Hearing and doing, we build on the Rock, Hearing alone, we build on the sand, Both will be tried by the storm and the flood, Only the rock the trial will stand!

Verse 2

On one or the other, my brother, You're building your hopes day by day; You are risking your soul on the works that you do, Will the dark waters sweep you away?

Verse 3

Your Savior has warned you, my brother, Oh, I pray you give heed to His voice; There is life on the rock, but there's death on the sand, Heed His words, brother, make them your choice.
