(I 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

Everything that can be shaken will be shakin' from within
Better have your house in order when the shakin' 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 houses fall or stand
In the fire of refining — with flames to high to douse
You remember someone saying, it's beginning in the house

Everything that can be shaken will be shakin' from within
Better have your house in order when the shakin' begins
Shakin' the house
Shakin', shakin' the house

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

Shakin' the house
Shakin', shakin' the house
