The Wise and Foolish Man
from the MMF! Songbook

Lyrics
The wise man built his house upon the rock,
The wise man built his house upon the rock,
The wise man built his house upon the rock,
And the rain came tumbling down.

The rain came down and the floods came up,
The rain came down and the floods came up,
The rain came down and the floods came up,
And the house on the rock stood firm.

The foolish man built his house upon the sand,
The foolish man built his house upon the sand,
The foolish man built his house upon the sand,
And the rain came tumbling down.

The rain came down and the floods came up,
The rain came down and the floods came up,
The rain came down and the floods came up,
And the house on the sand went "SPLAT!"

So, build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ,
Build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ,
Build your life on the Lord Jesus Christ,
And the blessings will come down.

The blessings will come down as the prayers go up,
The blessings will come down as the prayers go up,
The blessings will come down as the prayers go up,
So, build your life on the Rock.

Actions
The wise man built his house upon the rock,
Pound one fist on top of the other to the beat

The rain came down and the floods came up,
Wiggle fingers of both hands while moving downwards

...and the floods came up,
Palms up, raise hands

And the house on the rock...
hands form rooftop

...firm.
Pound fist once

..."SPLAT!"
Slap palms
