Whoever Hears My Word
 
1. Whoever hears My word and does what it says, 
He is like the wisest man, 
Who built his house on the solid, sure rock 
In the strongest storm, it stands. 
Yes...

Refrain:
...we'll build on the Rock, on the solid ground:
Jesus Christ, the Lord;
Yes we'll build on the Rock, on the solid ground:
The ground of His living Word. 
 
2. But many merely listen unto the word, 
How to do it, they don't see; 
They say, "It's true, and we would like it too, 
But we can't live perfectly."
But...
(Refrain)
 
3. And many build upon the praises of men, 
They can't bear to stand alone.
They say, "All folk are agreeing with me, 
And so many can't be wrong?!"
But...
(Refrain)
 
4. Still others build upon traditional ways
And on customs brought from old.
They say, "It was, and it always will be; 
To these doctrines, we will hold."
But...
(Refrain)
 
5. Come all who hear, and do not build on loose sand,
Lest your house fall when storms blow;
But let God change your old nature today
So you do the right you know.
Yes...
(Refrain)
