Words by Bob Hartman and John Lawry 

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
