Higher Ground

Build your house above the ocean

Build your house on higher ground

Build above the world's commotion

And its mesmerizing sound

You're taking your life into your hands

By building your castles in the sand

So build up high above the tide

Build on higher ground

In the world, but not of it

Caught in the storm we've got to rise above it

Waves of ungodliness eroding the shore

It's a treacherous sea too wild to ignore

Build your house above the ocean

Build your house on higher ground

Build above the world's commotion

And its mesmerizing sound

You're taking your life into your hands

By building your castles in the sand

So build up high above the tide

Build on higher ground

God is calling us to remain unstained

In the rising flood of sin

And it's easier to keep it out

If we don't invite it in

Build your house above the ocean

Build your house on higher ground

Build above the world's commotion

And its mesmerizing sound

You're taking your life into your hands

By building your castles in the sand

So build up high above the tide

Build on higher ground
