A CASTLE MADE OF SAND

Words and music: Ruth Selah

[Recorded version is in the key of B]

Intro: (C)-(Em)-(Am)-(Am/G)-(Bb)-(Dm)-(G)-(C)

A (C)castle made of (Am)sand,
The (Dm)storm comes, and it cannot (G)stand.
But a (C)mountain, a rocky (Am)mountain
Will (Dm)hang on to the sun,
It will never be (G)moved.
Like a (C)tree planted by the (Am)river,
You'll grow (Dm)tall,
And you can just bend with the (G)wind.

Chorus:
You've got to (F)live by faith a(G)lone,
Don't try and (C)do a thing on your (Am)own.
If you're (Dm)still, you'll hear His (G)voice
Calling you on (C)home(C7).
Just for (Dm)sake what's in your (G)heart,
(C)Lay it on the (Am)ground,
Turn a(Dm)round, walk a(G)way,
And start a(C)gain.

(C)-(Em)-(Am)-(Am/G)-(Bb)-(Dm)-(G)-(C)

Verse Two:
There's a(C)way which seemeth (Am)right to a man,
But the (Dm)end is de(G)struction.
Don't (C)lean to your own under(Am)standing,
Or (Dm)you will surely (G)fall.
Follow the (C)Son, let the light (Am)brighten your day.
Get (Dm)out of yourself,
Get it all out of the (G)way.

[Repeat Chorus Twice]

Turn a(Dm)round, walk a(G)way,
And start a(C)gain.
