The House Is Falling Down

Men had need of shelter from the evil  from the night
The devil wind was blowing and from heaven came a light
The Son of God  a carpenter and He came with a plan
To build a house where heaven could be offered unto men
When he came here  He laid down a mighty firm foundation
And the columns and the beams were churches  scattered through the nation
And then rooms were added to it on that same old solid rock
And roofs were raised by willing hands  from the bottom to the top
Then the people came and filled the house  were singing prayer and praise
Some turned and rejected  His house fell on leaner days
Oh  Son of God  oh Carpenter  will you come back around
The blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is falling down
Now the storm is raging and the devil's angry roar
He's screaming at the windows and how at the door
And though the faithful few inside are standing true and strong
The house has been neglected and it won't be standing long
When he came here  He laid down a mighty firm foundation
And the columns and the beams were churches  scattered through the nation
And then rooms were added to it on that same old solid rock
And roofs were raised by willing hands  from the bottom to the top
Then the people came and filled the house  were singing prayer and praise
Some turned and rejected  His house fell on leaner days
Son of God  oh Carpenter  will you come back around The blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is falling down
Son of God  oh Carpenter  where you come back around The blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is falling down
