What type of house are you building?

He built his home by the shore line,

So that he and his loved ones could enjoy the waves,

He lived for all of this earth's pleasures,

Taught his wife and children to do the same,

They had dreams of visions and of glory,

They lived their lives only for themselves,

The very waves of pleasure they loved destroyed them,

With no foundation, the seas just swept them away.

So what type of house are you building?

Does it stand for the Lord?

Does it have a firm foundation?

Is it built to stand the storms?

He built his castle all around him,

A greater vision of beauty had never been seen,

It reached as far as into the heavens,

Men would stand in awe of its majesty.

Yet, he shut out his wife and children,

He had put a lock upon the door,

It was a castle that had no windows,

Beautiful on the outside but it was built for him and no more.

So what type of house are you building?

Does it stand for the Lord?

Does it have a firm foundation?

Is it built to stand the storms?

His whole life had been in shambles,

He had nothing to offer his family but agony,

Then, one night, he cried out to Jesus,

Please, my God, hear this sinner's plea,

The foundation for his home was now given,

He spoke of Jesus constantly to his family,

One by one their hearts cried out to Jesus,

And their home was built on what was done at Calvary.

So what type of house are you building?

Does it stand for the Lord?

Does it have a firm foundation?

Is it built to stand the storms?
