Petra's 'Back to the Rock' is a classic Christian rock song that urges listeners to build their lives on the solid foundation of Jesus Christ. Drawing from the parable of the wise and foolish builders, the lyrics contrast a house built on sand with one built on rock, emphasizing the importance of hearing and obeying Jesus' words. The song also highlights the command to love God wholeheartedly. With its energetic rock style, it serves as a call to return to the unchanging truth of Christ, the Rock of salvation, and to find stability and security in Him.

Back to the Rock that is higher than I
Take me to the well that will never run dry
Take me, take me, Lord
To the Rock that is higher than I
There was a man who built his house upon the sinking sand
When the wind and rain came, it washed it all away
There was another man who learned to watch and pray
And he built his house upon a rock of Jesus and it still stands today
Take me to the Rock
To the Rock of my salvation
Take me to the Rock
To the well for every nation
Take me to the Rock
Everyone who hears the voice of Jesus and obeys
Is like the man who built his house upon the rock that stands
It was the Son of Man who gave us this command
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, your mind, your strength
