[Chorus]
A                             D              A
Where will you build, friend, where will you build
A                                        E
On the sinking sand, on the rock, on the hill
A                          D                  E
Through the rain and storm will your building stand
D            A              E               A
It's sure to fall if you're building on the sand


[Verse 1]
A                            D             A
Jesus spoke in parables that we might understand
D              A                 E              A
Of the foolish man who built his house upon the sand
A                                     D              A
When the rain and storm came down and beat upon that house
D             A        E              A
Jesus said it fell and great was it's fall


[Chorus]
A                             D              A
Where will you build, friend, where will you build
A                                        E
On the sinking sand, on the rock, on the hill
A                          D                  E
Through the rain and storm will your building stand
D            A              D               A
It's sure to fall if you're building on the sand

[Verse 2]
A                                 E 
Then Jesus teaching his Disciples spoke of the man
D                 A               E
The wise man that built his house upon the solid rock
A                                     D              A
When the rain and storm came down and beat upon that house
D                A                   E
Jesus tells this sinless world, that house fell not


[Chorus]
A                             D              A
Where will you build, friend, where will you build
A                                        E
On the sinking sand, on the rock, on the hill
A                          D                  E
Through the rain and storm will your building stand
D            A              E               A
It's sure to fall if you're building on the sand

On the sinking sand, on the rock, on the hill
A                          D                  E
Through the rain and storm will your building stand

It's sure to fall if you're building on the sand
