Rain Fell, Floods Came, Winds Blew
Build Your Foundation: Weathering Life's Storms with Wisdom
Lyrics
Jesus once talked about two men who had listened to what He said
Reference to Jesus talking about two men who heard His teachings
The wise man put it to practice, the fool just ignored Him instead
The wise man applied Jesus' teachings, while the fool ignored them
Jesus likened them to builders of a house
Comparison of the two men to builders constructing houses
This is what He said
Introduction to Jesus' words about building on rock or sand
The wise man built his house on the rock
The wise man built his house on a solid foundation (rock)
The fool built his house on sand
The fool built his house on an unstable foundation (sand)
And Jesus said
Continuation of Jesus' words and the builders' choices
Rain fell, floods came, winds blew
Introduction of challenges: Rain, floods, and winds
The house that was built on the rock stood strong and true
The house on the rock withstands challenges, remains strong
Rain fell, floods came, winds blew
Reiteration of challenges and the resilience of the rock-built house
The house on the sand came down all around a fool
The house on sand collapses due to challenges, emphasizing foolishness
Still all of these years later, the words of the Lord ring true
Confirmation of the enduring truth in Jesus' words over time
You can hide them deep in your heart and do what He wants you to do
Encouragement to internalize and follow Jesus' teachings
Or you can choose to ignore His words at your peril
Warning about the consequences of ignoring Jesus' words
Pretend like you don't know
Suggestion of pretending ignorance and avoiding responsibility
Lay back in your house on the sand
Imagery of reclining in a fragile sand-built house, vulnerable
And wait for the wind to blow
Waiting for inevitable consequences, such as the wind blowing
But just remember
Emphasizing a crucial reminder
Rain fell, floods came, winds blew
Reiteration of challenges and the resilience of the rock-built house
The house that was built on the rock stood strong and true
Reiteration of the strength of the rock-built house in adversity
Rain fell, floods came, winds blew
Reiteration of challenges and the collapse of the sand-built house
The house on the sand came down all around a fool
Emphasis on the folly of building on sand and the consequences
Rain fell, floods came, winds blew
Repetition of challenges and the rock-built house's endurance
The house that was built on the rock stood strong and true
Reiteration of the strength of the rock-built house in adversity
Rain fell, floods came, winds blew
Repetition of challenges and the collapse of the sand-built house
The house on the sand came down all around a fool
Emphasis on the consequences of building on sand
The house on the sand came down all around a fool
Final repetition underscoring the collapse of the sand-built house
