Upon This Rock Songtext
von Sandi Patty

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
Others will deny

When others say I′m just a man
Who'd like 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 carpenter
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
My kingdom will begin

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 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
