Full Lyrics
REFRAIN
Christ is my rock, my refuge, my stronghold
Firm as the tree's root that clutches the land.
He who has faith builds without worry
Not like the man who builds upon sand,
I set my house on a solid foundation,
Christ is my rock, the root of my soul's recreation.
VERSE 1
I know a man who loved to live free
He pitched his tent by the side of the sea
It stood near the surf and was wash'd by the spray
Till one day a wave came and washed it away.
VERSE 2
I know a man who loved to live high
He built his castle near up the sky
Thr'gh summer and spring it stood pretty well
When winter winds whistled it toppled and fell.
VERSE 3
I know a man, a cool one to know
He built his house of ice and of snow
In chill isolation his night work was done
But melted away with a warm morning sun.
VERSE 4
I know a man who built out of straw
The flimsiest fellow that I ever saw
One day a spark set it to flame
And nothing was left to remember his name.
