Matthew 7 24 to 25 Houses fallin', winter's cold embrace, Summer storms leave not a trace. Built on sand, a fragile hold, Tales of loss, forever told. Years go by, the scene repeats, Homes succumb to ocean's feats. When will they learn, this simple truth? Foundation's weak, from age to youth. Trust in God, a solid ground, Where faith and hope can be found. But human pride, a stubborn wall, Ignoring warnings, destined to fall. We trust ourselves, our fleeting might, Others too, lost in the night. But God's the anchor, strong and true, Build on Him, and see it through. Oh, instruction book, a guiding light, In every box, shining bright. And God's own Word, a sacred key, To unlock life's true destiny. Let's open our hearts, and truly see, The wisdom waiting, wild and free. No more extra parts, no more falling apart, Just lives transformed, a brand new start. 'Tis the season, gifts abound, Toys and gadgets all around. Parents toil, with eager hands, Building dreams, as planned. But pride steps in, "I know the way," Ignoring wisdom, come what may. The instruction book, cast aside, A tangled mess, where errors hide. God's Word, the Bible, shines so bright, His manual for living right. Creator's guide, for hearts and souls, Unlocking purpose, reaching goals. Yet we stray, with heads held high, Thinking we know more than the sky. Like toys unassembled, lives undone, Obey His Word, the victory's won. Oh, instruction book, a guiding light, In every box, shining bright. And God's own Word, a sacred key, To unlock life's true destiny. Let's open our hearts, and truly see, The wisdom waiting, wild and free. No more extra parts, no more falling apart, Just lives transformed, a brand new start. Pieces scattered, doubts arise, A broken toy before our eyes. The manual sought, in desperation, To mend the mess, find restoration. If only we'd started with its guide, Avoided errors, quelled our pride. So easy now, in hindsight's gleam, To follow steps, fulfill the dream. God's Word, like wisdom's gentle call, A treasure trove, embracing all. In Jesus' teachings, truth resides, A path to joy, where peace abides. Yet we wander, lost and blind, Seeking solace, peace of mind. Why not embrace the light He brings? And find fulfillment, on soaring wings. Oh, instruction book, a guiding light, In every box, shining bright. And God's own Word, a sacred key, To unlock life's true destiny. Let's open our hearts, and truly see, The wisdom waiting, wild and free. No more extra parts, no more falling apart, Just lives transformed, a brand new start Lord, We do believe but we often build our homes on the sand of public opinion or the culture’s of today’s world. Help us to allow that home to fall into the ocean and turn around, building our new home on the solid rock of Your Word. In Jesus name, Amen.
