Where I'll Stand

I built my house down on the sand
The sea rose up and tore it down
Where now can I go?
Where is there shelter?

I put faith in steel and firm hands
Stored treasure here in this land
Where now can I invest
If right now these things won't last?

Seeing all the things I once loved
Eaten by moth and by rust
What have I left to cling to?
What's left for me?

If thieves break in and steal all
And I can't guard my own
If tornados destroy
Where can I go?

I will stand on nothing more
Than Jesus Christ, the firmest floor
No one else will keep me safe
Nothing can take your place

So this is where I'll stand
On something firmer than sand
This is my hope
It's surer than each breath
I've got my faith
And you have given me grace
I will persevere
Until you come back

The Greatest Cause of Anger

You don't know what you are saying, do you?
A million words spew from your mouth like venom.
Do you know how fast they kill?
Do you know how much they bill?

Though your mouth is sweetened by honey, though you life looks right,
I see through your heart and it's filth that I find.
Can't you see where what you say
Is coming from? Evil.

Hear what I hate more than all else:
A fake and hypocritical heart.
You say one thing, do all else,
Give me love that is false.
I can't handle your sacrifices,
They fuel my wrath.

You can't comprehend the weight of the things that you do.
Each move you make just gives you shortcuts to more pain.
Won't you stop and change your mind.
Leave behind your ways and do mine.

Hear what I hate more than all else:
A fake and hypocritical heart.
You say one thing, do all else,
Give me love that is false.
I can't handle your sacrifices,
They fuel my wrath.

Turn to me, I want your heart.
Hear my plea: I want your heart.
