Tom: G
G C G
Man had need of shelter from the evil from the night
G A7 D
The devil wind was blowin' and from heaven came a light
C G C
The Son of God, a carpenter, and he came with a plan
G D G
To build a house where heaven could be offered unto man
Chorus:
C G
When he came here he layed down a mighty firm foundation
C G
And the columns and the beams were churches scattered through the nation
C G
Then rooms were added to it on that same old solid rock
A7 D
Then roofs were raised by willing hands from the bottom to the top
C G
Then people came and filled the house with singin' prayer and praise
C G
Some turned and rejected, his house fell on leaner days
G C
Son of God, o carpenter, will you come back around
G D G
The blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is falling down.
G C G
Now the wind is raging and the devil's angry roar
G A7 D
Is screamin' at the windows and howlin' at the door
C G C
And thought the faithful few inside are standing true and strong
G D G
The house has been neglected and it won't be standing long
(Chorus)
G C
Son of God, o carpenter, will you come back around
G D G
Our Blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is falling down.
