Foolish Foundation

"Every one that heareth these sayings of Mine, and DOETH THEM NOT, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it" (Matthew 7:26-27).

Hear the account of the house built on sand
That serves as a warning from God:
For when the flood came that house could not stand,
Because the foundation was flawed.

This is the story portraying destruction
By which our Lord Jesus conveyed
The folly of hearing His urgent instruction,
Which thereafter wasn't obeyed.

Foolish foundation! How great is the fall
Of those who will build in this way,
Refusing the mercy of God's gracious call
To come to the Savior today!
