F               C
Pain will come, tears will flow
Dm              Am
Sorrow's gonna fight for my soul
F                C         Dm          Am
But Heaven knows where I stand
F                C
Rains will pour, winds will blow
Dm                   Am
Floods are gonna rise, oh, I know
F              C                Dm        Am
But hope ain't built on sinking sand
     F    G   Am  C  F
I've seen enough to know


[Chorus]
               F                           C
You could lay bricks, you could dig a foundation
             Dm                 Am
You could build up 10,000 feet tall
                   F         C           Eb
But if it don't stand on the word of the Lord
     Bb           C
This house gonna fall
                   F                    C
You could put a cross right up on the steeple
             Dm                 Am
You could stain glass on every wall
                   F         C           Eb
But if it don't stand on the word of the Lord
     Bb           C
This house gonna fall


[Verse 2]
F               C
Empty words are like empty rooms
Dm              Am
You can have it all but it only proves
F               C                Dm          Am
That without love it's just for show
F               C
And you can give it all away
Dm              Am
You can even do it in Jesus' name
F               C                Dm          Am
But without love you're gonna do it alone, oh


[Chorus]
               F                           C
You could lay bricks, you could dig a foundation
             Dm                 Am
You could build up 10,000 feet tall
                   F         C           Eb
But if it don't stand on the word of the Lord
     Bb           C
This house gonna fall
                   F                    C
You could put a cross right up on the steeple
             Dm                 Am
You could stain glass on every wall
                   F         C           Eb
But if it don't stand on the word of the Lord
     Bb           C
This house gonna fall


[Bridge]
       C            Dm
My hope is built on nothing lеss
          F               C
Than Jesus' blood, my righteousness (My righteousness)
         C                   Dm
And I dare not trust the sweetest frame
        F                 C
But wholly lean on Jesus' name
      C
My hope is built (My hope is built)
       Dm
On nothing less (On nothing less)
        F               C
Than Jesus' blood, my righteousness  (My righteousness)
    C
And I dare not trust (I dare not trust)
     Dm
The sweetest frame (The sweetest frame)
      F                  C
But wholly lean on Jesus' name (Jesus name)


[Chorus]
            N.C.
You could lay bricks, you could dig a foundation

You could build up 10,000 feet tall
                   F         C           Eb
But if it don't stand on the word of the Lord
                   C
This house gonna fall (This house gonna fall)
               F                           C
You could lay bricks, you could dig a foundation
             Dm                 Am
You could build up 10,000 feet tall
                   F         C           Eb
But if it don't stand on the word of the Lord
     Bb           C
This house gonna fall
                   F                    C
You could put a cross right up on the steeple
             Dm                 Am
You could stain glass on every wall
                   F         C           Eb
But if it don't stand on the word of the Lord
     Bb           C
This house gonna fall

[Outro]
                   F         C           Eb
But if it don't stand on the word of the Lord
     Bb           C
This house gonna fall
