This House
by Anne Wilson

Album: My Jesus

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, oh, I know
But hope ain't built on sinking sand
I've seen enough to know

Chorus
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

Verse 2
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

Chorus
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

Bridge
My hope is built on nothing less
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)

Chorus
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

Outro
If it don't stand on the word of the Lord
This house gonna fall
