The House Is Falling Down Lyrics - Johnny Cash

The House Is Falling Down 

() 

Men had need of shelter from the evil, from the night 

The devil ? wind was blowin? and from heaven came a light 

The Son of God, a carpenter and He came with a plan 

To build a house where heaven could be offered unto men 

Refrain: (Bum) 

When he came here, He laid down a mighty firm foundation 

And the columns and the beams were churches, scattered through the nation 

And then rooms were added to it on that same old solid rock 

And roofs were raised by willing hands, from the bottom to the top

Then the people came and filled the house, were singing prayer and praise 

Some turned and rejected, His house fell on leaner days 

Oh, Son of God, oh Carpenter, will you come back around 

The blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is falling down 

Now the storm is raging and the devil? s angry roar 

He? s screaming at the windows and howlin? at the door 

And though the faithful few inside are standing true and strong 

The house has been neglected and it won? t be standin? long 

Refrain: (Bum ? Bum)

Then the people came and filled the house, were singing prayer and praise 

Some turned and rejected, His house fell on leaner days 

Son of God, oh Carpenter, will you come back around 

Our blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is falling down 

Son of God, oh Carpenter, where you come back around 

The blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is fallin? down
