Anne Wilson - This House Lyrics

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 

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

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 

My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus’ blood, my righteousness;

I dare not trust the sweetest frame

But wholly lean on Jesus’ name
