The House Is Falling Down

<p>Men had need of shelter from the evil, from the night<br/>The devil ? wind was blowin? and from heaven came a light<br/>The Son of God, a carpenter and He came with a plan<br/>To build a house where heaven could be offered unto men<br/><br/>When he came here, He laid down a mighty firm foundation<br/>And the columns and the beams were churches, scattered through the nation<br/>And then rooms were added to it on that same old solid rock<br/>And roofs were raised by willing hands, from the bottom to the top<br/><br/>Then the people came and filled the house, were singing prayer and praise<br/>Some turned and rejected, His house fell on leaner days<br/>Oh, Son of God, oh Carpenter, will you come back around<br/><br/>The blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is falling down<br/>Now the storm is raging and the devil?s angry roar<br/>He?s screaming at the windows and howlin? at the door<br/>And though the faithful few inside are standing true and strong<br/>The house has been neglected and it won?t be standin? long<br/><br/>Then the people came and filled the house, were singing prayer and praise<br/>Some turned and rejected, His house fell on leaner days<br/>Son of God, oh Carpenter, will you come back around<br/>Our blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is falling down<br/><br/>Son of God, oh Carpenter, where you come back around<br/>The blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is fallin? down
