lyrics
Won't be Shaken by No Storm
I built this house with my own two hands
I built this house with hands of my brothers
Built this house on a firm foundation
It won’t be shaken by no storm
Oh the wind and rain, they try to overtake us
The wind and rain, they wanna bend and break us
But we’re saved by a firm foundation
And won’t be shaken by no storm
I built this house on a promised land
I built this house through the tears of my mother
Built this house though our hearts were breakin’
It won’t be shaken by no storm
Oh the floods they come, their waters risin’ high
But I won’t run, no I’ll stay safe and dry
Inside this house, it’s on a firm foundation
It won’t be shaken by no storm
I built this house with my own two hands
I built this house with hands of my brothers
Built this house on a firm foundation
It won’t be shaken by no storm
