With things getting more and more amped up these days, I have to strengthen myself in the LORD. I cannot depend on others to do so. And neither can you!
I was answering some emails, knitting and listening to Keith Green. Give this song a listen (-:
Praying the Remnant Church abide in her LORD! Amen!
Unless the lord builds the house,
They labor in vain to try at all,
Building anything not according to his call.
Unless the lord wants it done,
You better not work another day,
Building anything that will stand in his way.
You love the lord and it seems like he's been leading,
You've asked him to bless all your plans.
But are you so sure you're just doing what you want to,
Building your house on the sand, the sand.
Unless the lord builds the house,
They labor in vain to try at all,
Building anything not according to his call.
Unless the lord wants it done,
You better not work another day,
Building anything that will stand in his way.
Working so hard at the things that you believe in,
No one can tear you away.
But don't you lose sight of the very one who calls you,
You may be sorry some day, some day.
For wood, hay and stubble, will all burn up in the fire.
But to love the lord with all your heart, should be your one desire.
Love the lord.
Unless the lord wants it done,
You better not work another day,
Building anything that will stand,
Anything that will stand, anything that will stand.
They labor in vain to try at all,
Building anything not according to his call.

You better not work another day,
Building anything that will stand in his way.
You love the lord and it seems like he's been leading,
You've asked him to bless all your plans.
But are you so sure you're just doing what you want to,
Building your house on the sand, the sand.

You better not work another day,
Building anything that will stand,
Anything that will stand, anything that will stand.
Wow. Amen and amen!
The song you posted reminded me of this one by the Casting Crowns, called American Dream.

(Don't know which one to use!)
One of the lines in it says this:
"I'll take a shack on a rock over a castle in the sand."
I was listening to this group and Third Day quite a bit during a certain turning point in my life a few years back and feel God was reaching out to me through some of those lyrics. My priorities totally changed, for the better!
This country sure is on sinking sand! We'd better stand on that foundation that can't be shaken! :)
