THE HOUSE IS FALLING DOWN 

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 laid 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
A                                                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                               A               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:
C                                 G
When he came here he laid 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
A                                                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
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
