You can build your house upon the Rock knowing there will be
A day when storms will howl and blow against all you believe
While others who have built their house on the shifting sands of life
Will crumble down onto the ground when the raging floods arise

I’m standing on (I’m standing on the Rock when winds and rains prevail)
Upon the Word (Upon God’s Word I stand and know it will not fail)
I’m holding to the outstretched hand of the One who wrote salvation’s plan
So when the never-ending rain won’t stop
I’ll stand and shout, (I’ll stand and shout)
I’m on the Rock

On the solid rock of ages I firmly set me feet
And safely stand while satan rages he can’t worry me
Though disappointments, trials and fear encircle and surround
Still Jesus is my Firm Foundation where my hope is found
