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
