So carefully I built my house upon the sun-warmed sand I patiently plotted my course, setting out my well laid plans This structure would last forever Finest materials were all I’d use The perfect reflection of self-made man Collapse was near but I had no clues The waves of heartache came rushing in Mercilessly they pounded the shore So exposed to the world was all my sin as life’s storms battered down my door Helpless and hopeless ~ a drowning man Who would have pity on me? Then God reached down His caring hand and extended His gift which was free My heart in exchange for His mercy was all He asked in return A chance to rebuild my home on a foundation solid and firm So I gratefully took His offer In my plans, I no longer took stock For when Jesus, the carpenter, rebuilt my life He built it on solid rock Cheryl McClellan 1/18/2002 [This message has been edited by His Poet (01-18-2002 02:18 PM).] |

Floria, I'm so glad you enjoyed this. I wanted to write something using the parable of building on sand instead of the solid rock. Thanks, Cheryl Noah, Thanks for reading and always reply with such sweet words. I don't take them for granted. Cheryl |
