[Verse]
G C G Man had need of shelter from the evil from the night G A7 D The devil wind was blowin' and from heaven came a light C G C The Son of God, a carpenter, and he came with a plan G D G To build a house where heaven could be offered unto man
[Chorus]
C G When he came here he laid down a mighty firm foundation C G And the columns and the beams were churches scattered through the nation C G Then rooms were added to it on that same old solid rock A D Then roofs were raised by willing hands from the bottom to the top C G Then people came and filled the house with singin' prayer and praise C G Some turned and rejected, his house fell on leaner days G C Son of God, o carpenter, will you come back around G D G The blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is falling down.
[Verse]
G C G Now the wind is raging and the devil's angry roar G A D Is screamin' at the windows and howlin' at the door C G C And thought the faithful few inside are standing true and strong G D G The house has been neglected and it won't be standing long
[Chorus]
C G When he came here he laid down a mighty firm foundation C G And the columns and the beams were churches scattered through the nation C G Then rooms were added to it on that same old solid rock A D Then roofs were raised by willing hands from the bottom to the top C G Then people came and filled the house with singin' prayer and praise C G Some turned and rejected, his house fell on leaner days G C Son of God, o carpenter, will you come back around G D G The blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is falling down.
[Outro]
G C Son of God, o carpenter, will you come back around G D G Our Blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is falling down
