Steve Green - Higher Ground lyrics

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 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 You've got to build on higher ground Build on higher ground
