The House Is Falling Down      ()      Men had need of shelter from the evil, from the night   The devil – wind was blowin’ and from heaven came a light   The Son of God, a carpenter and He came with a plan   To build a house where heaven could be offered unto men      Refrain: (Bum)      When he came here, He laid down a mighty firm foundation   And the columns and the beams were churches, scattered through the nation   And then rooms were added to it on that same old solid rock   And roofs were raised by willing hands, from the bottom to the top      Then the people came and filled the house, were singing prayer and praise   Some turned and rejected, His house fell on leaner days   Oh, Son of God, oh Carpenter, will you come back around   The blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is falling down      Now the storm is raging and the devil’s angry roar   He’s screaming at the windows and howlin’ at the door   And though the faithful few inside are standing true and strong   The house has been neglected and it won’t be standin’ long      Refrain: (Bum – Bum)      Then the people came and filled the house, were singing prayer and praise   Some turned and rejected, His house fell on leaner days   Son of God, oh Carpenter, will you come back around   Our blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is falling down      Son of God, oh Carpenter, where you come back around   The blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is fallin’ down
