Search your heart, see what lies inside.
Is God’s love there, where it should abide?
Has the hour glass drained, to seal your fate?
Seek His Face, don’t be too late.
Christ gave His life for me and you…
Nothing else will see us through~
Say good-bye to this world of sin;
For He alone can set you free…
Victory was won, on Calvary.
When your “heart is fixed” on the solid “Rock,”
Be bold; be strong; in Him you’ll stand…
No longer will you walk, on, Shifting Sand…
Christ paid the price; will you Believe?
It’s only through Him that we receive;
No one knows about tomorrow, or
If tomorrow will ever come~
Be assured of that “Sound foundation:
There’ll be no need to roam.
Have faith in God’s sovereign command;
On that solid Rock, we’ll stand,
There’ll be no more, Shifting Sand!

Matthew 7:24-27 English Standard Version (ESV)
Build Your House on the Rock “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
1 Corinthians 13 New International Version (NIV) If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
