I Am On The Rock
Petra's song 'I Am On The Rock' is a classic Christian rock anthem about finding unshakable security in Jesus Christ amid a chaotic and crumbling world. The lyrics describe earthquakes, bad news, and failing kingdoms, yet the singer stands firm because he is anchored to the Rock, which represents Christ as the sure foundation. The song emphasizes that no earthly power can provide true stability, only God can. It calls listeners to be ready and to trust in Jesus' revelation, promising that despite storms and floods, believers will not be moved.
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]
