Lyrics: Hosanna me built a house, oh Hosanna me built a house, oh Hosanna me built a house, oh Hosanna me built a house, oh House built on a weak foundation Will not stand oh no Story's told throughout creation Will not stand oh no House built on a weak foundation Will not stand oh no Story's told throughout creation Will not stand oh no Hosanna, well come wash it down Sun come burn it up Storm come blow it down This house could never be This house could never be It would be weak you see House built on a weak foundation Will not stand oh no Story's told throughout creation Will not stand oh no Hosanna me built a house, oh Hosanna me built a house, oh Hosanna me built a house, oh Hosanna me built a house, oh House built on a rock foundation It will stand oh yes Story's told throughout creation It will stand oh yes Hosanna, well come wash on it Sun come shine on it Storm can't blow it down This house will always be This house will always be It will be strong you see Hosanna me built a house, oh Hosanna me built a house, oh Hosanna me built a house, oh Hosanna me built a house, oh |
