Foundations from Rooted by Seeds
Inspired by a true story of a group of people who, although warned by the authorities, refused to evacuate a hotel in the pathway of a hurricane. How easily we’re blinded by our own petty desires. The next day the hotel was completely destroyed. Matt. 7:24-27

Lyrics
Dark clouds are forming on the horizon
I see the signs and I know
A storm is approaching
The trees they are dancing
The wind starts blowing
The rain now is falling and the waves
They start a-pounding...
And I see you there, unaware,
Pretending not to know,
Pretending not to see, and I say:
Hey, on what does your house stand?
Is it built upon the rock or built on shifting sand
Hey, your house will soon be shaken
The elements will test the foundations you have laid.
The storm is arriving right where you’re residing
You see the signs and you know there is no more pretending
Cause the trees they are falling,
the wind now is howling, the rain
starts flooding and the waves are overtaking
I see you there, you’re unprepared,
Running now for cover,
looking for a shelter, and I say:
Hey, on what does your house stand...
The sun is rising on a color filled horizon
It illuminates the land exposing its condition
The truth that I see now is sobering but clear
All you had built is gone, not a single thing left standing
I can’t see you there, I’ve looked everywhere,
Your house it did not stand, you didn’t heed the warning ,
And I say: Hey, on what does your house stand...
