F    C/E    Eb  Bb/D  C



♫ Verse 1:
F            C                 Dm
  Pain will come, tears will flow
                Am             F
Sorrow's gonna fight for my soul
             C            Dm    Am
But Heaven knows where I stand    
F              C               Dm   
  Rains will pour, winds will blow
                  Am            F 
Floods are gonna rise, oh
I know
                C                Dm    Am
But hope ain't built on sinking sand    
     F       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/E          Eb
But if it don't stand on the word of the Lord
      Bb/D        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/E          Eb
But if it don't stand on the word of the Lord
     Bb/D         C
This house gonna fall

♫ Verse 2:
F        C                   Dm    
  Empty words are like empty rooms
                Am                   F
You can have it all but it only proves
              C                  Dm    Am
That without love it's just for show    
F              C            Dm
  And you can give it all away
             Am                 F    
You can even do it in Jesus' name
             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/E          Eb
But if it don't stand on the word of the Lord
      Bb/D        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/E          Eb
But if it don't stand on the word of the Lord
     Bb/D         C
This house gonna fall

My hope is built on nothing l ss
      F                         C
