Artist: Johnny Cash Title: The House Is Falling Down Album: Personal File Johnny Cash sang alot in the key of Bb and this song is no exception so if you want to along with the CD put your capo on the 3rd fret. Man had need of shelter from the evil from the night The devil wind was blowin’ and from heaven came a light The Son of God a carpenter and he came with a plan To build a house where heaven could be offered unto man Chorus: When he came here he layed down a mighty firm foundation And the columns and the beams were churches scattered through the nation Then rooms were added to it on that same old solid rock Then roofs were raised by willing hands from the bottom to the top Then people came and filled the house with singin’ prayer and praise Some turned and rejected his house fell on leaner days Son of God o carpenter will you come back around The blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is falling down. Now the wind is raging and the devil’s angry roar Is screamin’ at the windows and howlin’ at the door And thought the faithful few inside are standing true and strong The house has been neglected and it won’t be standing long (Chorus) Son of God o carpenter will you come back around Our Blocks and beams are crumbling and the house is falling down.

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque le besoin de protection face aux ténèbres, symbolisées par le mal et la tempête. Elle décrit la venue du Fils de Dieu, un charpentier qui a un projet : bâtir un abri où l'humanité peut se tourner vers le ciel. Au fil des vers, on sent cette maison se remplir de chants et de prières, mais aussi l’angoisse d'une défection où certains choisissent de rejeter cet abri. Alors que les éléments se déchaînent et que la maison montre des signes de dégradation, il est un cri du cœur pour un retour divin, une invitation à restaurer ce lieu de foi qui semble sur le point de s'effondrer.
