The earth is shakin'
It's like a bad dream
This world is crumblin'
Comin' apart at the seam,
But I am on the Rock, I am on the Rock
Everywhere I'm turning
It's only bad news
This bomb is tickin'
And we're getting to the end of the fuse,
But I am on the Rock, I am on the Rock
Are you ready?
[Chorus]
I am on the Rock, the sure foundation
I am on the Rock, on the Rock/I am on the Rock/the Rock of Jesus
I am on the Rock, His revelation
I am on the Rock.
Though the winds may blow
And though the floods may grow
I shall not be moved, 'cause I am on the Rock
The storm's approaching,
I'm standing high and dry
Firmly planted
On the Rock that is higher than I,
I am on the Rock, I am on the Rock
Kingdoms failing,
They fall around me
Plans eroded
And washing away to the sea,
I am on the Rock, I am on the Rock
Are you ready?
[Chorus]
There is no Rock in this world but our God!
[Chorus]
