There's a rumble in the distance
A trembling in the air
It's uncertain in direction
Does it come from here or thereIt's approaching by the minute
Does it lead you to despair
Feel it shakin' your foundation
when you haven't got a prayerEverything that can be shaken will be shakin' from within
Better have your house in order when the shakin' beginsShakin' the house, shakin', shakin' the house, shakin'
Shakin' the house, shakin', shakin' the house, shakin'
Shakin', shakin' the houseYou examine your foundation
Does it stand on rock or sand
When the smoke clears, does it bring fears
When houses fall or standIn the fire of refining
With flames too high to douse
You remember someone saying
It's beginning in the houseEverything that can be shaken will be shakin' from within
Better have your house in order when the shakin' beginsShakin' the house, shakin', shakin' the house, shakin'
Shakin' the house, shakin', shakin', shakin', shakin', shakin'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 desireShakin' the house, shakin', shakin' the house, shakin'
Shakin' the house, shakin', shakin' the house, shakin'
Shakin', shakin', shakin', shakin', shakin' the house
