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
