Upon This Rock

Upon This Rock

Composition by Joe Farrell(in 1974)

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 child-like faith

The priceless truth that others will deny

When others say I'm just a man

Who likes 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

And on 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 capenter

You see the son of God.

If you would choose to lose

When you could win

If you would give your life away for nothing

In return, then you are where

Upon this rock I'll build My kingdom

And on 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

I'll build my kingdom

And on this rock forever 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

I'll build my church

Upon this rock

Upon this rock
