Like a child by the sea shore Building castles in the sand Foolish dreams I have dreamed day by day Leaving God out completely Till the day my castle's grand Fell apart in the tide and swept away In each life storms will gather Rains descend and wild winds blow Wise the man who in God is anchored fast Are you then like that wise man? Are you anchored? Do you know you are saved till the storms of life are past Castles build upon the sand Though they seemed to be so grand Will surely melt away For in life's raging storm They cannot stand In the rock of the ages All my hopes are build today And in the rock they will never pass away And in the rock they will never pass away
