Lord, Don't Float My House Away

Houston's in a panic, 'cause the rain is setting in,
Living near the bayou, gotta be ready to put the boat in.
Put your dogs, your children, put your wife and all you own,
Put 'em in the boat, get ready to float,
'Cause the rain is comin' on.

CHORUS

Lord, don't float my house away,
Lord, don't float my babies away,
Lord, don't float my life away,
Gotta go down to the streets of Houston town,
Get 'em ready for the judgment day.

Well, the Lord sits up in Heaven, looking down,
And He doesn't see like we see, He sees spirits in the town.
Powers, principalities, all living on the land,
And He might just rearrange things with a mighty outstretched hand.

-REPEAT CHORUS-

Well, we don't know the reason why the Lord might bring a flood
We just know He promises that He will do us good.
It may not be the reason why the rain never seemed to stop,
But as we all fell to our knees, the church rose to the top.

-REPEAT CHORUS-

Well, we don't know the reason why some people float away
We just know that we all face His judgment some great day.
So get your spirit ready for the Lord's great judgment hall,
Storms are building up, you know the rain is goin' to fall.

-REPEAT CHORUS 2X-
Gotta go down to the streets of Houston town,
Get 'em ready for the judgment day.

INSTRUMENTAL - REPEAT CHORUS-

TAG

Gotta go down to the streets of Houston town,
Get 'em ready for the judgment day.
Gotta go down to the streets of Houston town,
Get 'em ready for the judgment,
Ready for the judgment, ready for the judgment day.
