Chorus: Build your house above the ocean Build your house on higher ground Build above the world's commotion And its mesmerizing sound You're taking your life into your hands By building your castles in the sand So build up high above the tide Build on higher ground
In the world, but not of it Caught in the storm we've got to rise above it Waves of ungodliness eroding the shore It's a treacherous sea too wild to ignore
Chorus
God is calling us to remain unstained In the rising flood of sin And it's easier to keep it out If we don't invite it in
