Les Olinger songs
Adapted from one of my favorites - Mathew 7:24-27
The Wise and Foolish Builders
24"Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25"The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26"But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27"The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash."
Foundations
Written, Performed and Recorded by Les Olinger
My roof it was leaking
the walls would barely stand
All my life I'm building houses on shifting sand
As my foundation crumbled
I fell to my knees
Asking God's forgiveness Lord won't you help me please
Give me a rock solid piece of ground to build upon
Help me build a wall that's strong
Teach me to construct a roof that'll weather any storm
Help me build your house oh Lord
Our house must be built on the foundation of His love
Insulated from the world from above
A house divided never stands for anything
He will build a house for you and me
I couldn't see out the windows
they were darkened by the past
His joy comes in the morning I can see the light at last
The doors wouldn't open...No
they were locked by the pain
His forgiveness is the key I can live again
Our house must be built on the foundation of His love
insulated from the world from above
A house divided never stands for anything
He will build a house for you and me
Give me a rock solid piece of ground to build upon
Help me build a wall that's strong
Teach me to construct a roof that'll weather any storm
Help me build your house oh Lord
