Acoustic Folk Art 2, Track 9, 03:05
Human Race

People running crazy
All around from place to place
There’s no doubt that we are living
In the human race
If you sometimes feel
Like you’re running in last place
Remember that the day is coming
When the last will be first
 
Racing to attain
Treasures built on sand 
Crumbling beneath us
Try to save them if you can 
Thinking of tomorrow
We formulate a plan
But a house that’s built upon the rock
Alone will stand 

When this world starts to pass you by
Don’t you run with them
Don’t you even try
There’s no use in running
When you don’t know
​Where you’re going to 
When they mock and laugh at you
Don’t deny Him, don’t run by Him
Remember that the day is coming
When the last will be first 

Racing to attain
Treasures built on sand 
Crumbling beneath us
Try to save them if you can 
Thinking of tomorrow
We formulate a plan
But a house that’s built upon the rock 
A house that’s built up on the rock 
A house that’s built on the rock
Alone will stand
Song Notes

A song based on a passage from the book of Matthew.  "Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”  Matthew 7: 24-27, The Holy Bible (NIV)
