A Man builds a barn with his coal dark hands
Foundation on up to ridgeline
Stares at the walls, just a scratchin' his head
Wonders if it'll stand the test of time
But the barn built on sand will fall in an instant
The barn built on the rock will last
This life here on earth may soon be over
But what's done for Christ will last
A man buys a ring from the shop on the corner
Plans it all out in his head
He wants it to be just right for his darlin
Going over the words to be said
But the marriage built on sand will fall in an instant
The marriage built on the rock will last
This life here on earth may soon be over
But what's done for Christ will last
A young man walks up to the edge of the bed
Sees that his grandpa's fading fast
He says, granddaddy why are you leaving
His grandpa just looked at him and laughed
He said, a life built on sand will fall in an instant
But a life built on the rock will last
Life here on earth may soon be over
But what's done for Christ will last
Cause a life built on sand will fall in an instant
But a life built on God will last
Life here on earth may soon be over
But what's done for Christ will last
Yeah, what's done for Christ will last
