Petra- Shakin' The House, with lyrics

[Faith-Not-Fear]

 

Petra: when you need a dose of energy! I became a Petra fan in the 80's and saw them 3 times, including the Farwell Tour. Thanks to another here for giving me the idea to post this song, which I was reminded of when listening to sermons years ago about a coming "shaking" and recently when reading a Michael Rood book. John Schlitt has a tremendous testimony, solo albums and other projects also. Still rockin' for the Lord at 71!

Word by Bob Hartman, John Lawry, & John Elefante, based on 1 Peter 4:17, Hebrews 12:27

There's a rumble in the distance - a trembling in the air
It's uncertain in direction - does it come from here or there
It's approaching by the minute - does it lead you to despair
Feel it shakin your foundation - when you haven't got a prayer
(Chorus)
Everything that can be shaken will be shakin' from within
Better have your house in order when the shaking begins
Shakin' the house
Shakin, shakin' the house

 

You examine your foundation - does it stand on rock or sand
When the smoke clears, does it bring fears - when the houses fall or stand
In the fire of refining - with the flames too high to douse
You remember someone saying it's beginning in the house

But don't fear when it comes near
And you see the raging fire
If you hold fast it will all pass
Till your heart has His desire

1Pe 4:17 KJV For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?

Heb 12:27 KJV And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
