House of Character
HOUSE OF CHARACTER
(Based on Matthew 7:21-27)
If your house is built on sand
It will never, never stand.
The sudden storm which comes someday
Will blow and wash it all away.
Yet if you know your Savior true
He’s spent much time in knowing you.
You can be sure your house will stand,
For it was not on sifting sand.
Be prepared for what will come,
For this will be the total sum.
If your life is built on Him
God will free you from all sin.
Your house of character is complete
Before this storm you finally meet.
If besetting sin does not remain,
You are prepared for wind and rain.
It’s now we must turn around,
And then make sure our house is sound.
The final storm will come someday.
We can’t afford to now delay.
God will give you strength to build,
With His life you will be filled.
So give your heart to God’s great plan,
And then your house will always stand.
