Sandcastles

We build our castles in the sand.
When the tide comes in and washes it away,
we can be sad but say, it was a wave, what could I do?

We build our castles in the sand.
Its easy to make and fun to do,
yet it won't resist much pressure or stand the test of time.

We build our castles in the sand.
We look at other castles and compare,
how great theirs are, mine is bare.

Our castles are built from sand,
Then we have an excuse when they're labeled damned.
When next to glory we stand, our castles crumble.
We want to be worthy, but need to be humble.

We've been given tools for building a castle.
But ignore the hand offered to us still.
With faith, hope and love we build a foundation
Strong and delivered, free from sin.
Bound in unity by a love supreme
The Kingdom stands in peace, serene.

Let this love be joy abounding,
And flow out to all those surrounding.
Take time, be still, see all the same.
We are only saved by His name.

No more castles need be built of sand.
Let your Heavenly Father take comand.
