Build not on shifting earth

Tread not the sand, my dear

for the sand gives way

and cannot be trusted

for it is constantly changing

build not on shifting earth, my dear

build not on shifting earth

Hold your ground my darling

for the hour is near

and if your spirits home

is built on stone

life will prevail

build not on shifting earth, my dear

build not on shifting earth

let your mind not stir on petty things

on the hearts foolish desire

and man's failing ways

for only the L-RD has sturdy paths

and constant truths and ways

build not on shifting earth, my dear

build not on shifting earth

Put to rest futile chasings

and lay down your weary self

sleep on marble and gold of the King of kings

or the silk sheets of sleepful bed

and find peace in your King Father's arms

rest not on shifting earth my dear

rest not on shifting earth

Walk on towards constant mountains

grow on sturdy branches

tread the narrow path

look towards the Saviors light

and rest the weary burden

tread not on shifting earth my dear

tread not on shifting earth
