Sand Pile Blues - Sovereign Grace Music

Let me tell you 'bout the saddest news

It’s the reason that I’m singin' the blues

I built myself a house on some seaside land

Along came a storm and it got out of hand

I heard a sound, my house fell down!

Now all I got is a pile of sand

I got the blues, the sand pile blues

That’s all that’s left from my foolishness

I didn’t dig deep, my foundation was weak

So here’s the key: don’t be like me

Or you’ll be singin' the sand pile blues

I shoulda known what was up ahead

My next door neighbor came to me and said

«Hey there, friend, you better make a plan

To build your house on a rock if you can

And when the winds come rushin' in

You won’t be stuck with a pile of sand.»

I got the blues, the sand pile blues

That’s all that’s left from my foolishness

I didn’t dig deep, my foundation was weak

So here’s the key: don’t be like me

Or you’ll be singin' the sand pile blues

So, here’s the lesson from the things I’ve been taught:

You have to build your life on the solid Rock

Believe in Jesus that He died for your sins

And saved your life so you could follow Him

He’ll make you stand and in the end

You won’t be sittin' in a pile of sand!

I got the blues, the sand pile blues

That’s all that’s left from my foolishness

I didn’t dig deep, my foundation was weak

So here’s the key: don’t be like me

Or you’ll be singin' the sand pile blues
