We believe that this is by far the most beautiful and moving rendition of “Upon This Rock”
Here are the lyrics:
Upon this Rock
When others see with earthly eyes
Just what they want to see
You will see the things that never die.
You will know and recognize.
by simple, childlike faith
The priceless truth that others will deny.
When others say, I’m just a man.
Who liked to dream his dreams,
When others call a miracle, a myth,
You’ll listen for eternity.
in moments as they pass
And see with spirit eyes what others miss.
Upon this Rock, I’ll build my kingdom,
upon this Rock, forever and ever it shall stand.
And all the powers of Hell itself
Shall never more prevail against it,
For Satan’s thrones are built on sinking sand.
Upon this Rock, I’ll build my kingdom.
And on this Rock, forever and ever it shall stand.
Upon this Rock of revelation
I’ll build a strong and mighty nation.
And it shall stand the storms of time, upon this rock.
If in a simple carpenter
You see the son of God.
If You will choose to lose when You could win.
If You will give Your life away
for nothing in return,
Then You are where my kingdom will begin
Upon this Rock, I’ll build my kingdom.
upon this Rock, forever and ever it shall stand.
And all the powers of Hell itself
Shall never more prevail against it,
For Satan’s thrones are built on sinking sand.
Upon this Rock, I’ll build my kingdom.
And on this Rock, forever and ever it shall stand.
Upon this Rock of revelation
I’ll build a strong and mighty nation.
And it shall stand the storms of time.
Upon this Rock,
Upon this Rock of revelation
I’ll build a strong and mighty nation.
And it shall stand the storms of time.
Upon this rock, I’ll build my church.
Upon this Rock,
On Christ the Solid Rock I stand, upon this Rock!
HALLELUJAH!!
Wow. Beautiful!
Amazingly beautiful!!
