Upon this Rock upon this Rock
Verse 1

The pGriceless truth that others will dGm7eny
Verse 2

If you will choose to lose when you could win
If you will give your life away
For nothing in return
Then you are where My kingdom will begin
Chorus 2
Upon this Rock I'll build My kingdom
And on this Rock forever and ever it shall stand
And all the pow'rs of hell itself
Shall nevermore 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 will stand the storms of time
Upon this Rock I'll build My kingdom
And on this Rock forever 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 church
Upon this Rock upon this Rock
