Monuments lyrics

God's people stood by the river of Jordan
Looking back on the water they had passed through
They shouted and raised their voices to heaven
But Joshua said, "There's one thing we must do"

They laid twelve stones on the banks of the river
At Gilgal, they offered their tribute that day
Their children would question them
"What are these stones?"
"Child they mark the spot of this sanctified day"

Where are the monuments we should be building
So our children can find the way to get home
We should be laying stones so they can follow
The pathway that leads to God's throne

Where are the monuments we should be building

Mothers and fathers of this generation
There's hope for your family keep this in mind
Don't move the landmarks set up for your children
They will find the way by what you've left behind

Where are the monuments we should be building
So our children can find the way to get home
We should be laying stones so they can follow
The pathway that leads to God's throne
Leads to God's throne
Leads to God's throne
