Upon This Rock
"But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ…" (Philippians 3:7).
VERSE
1. To God alone our voice we raise
And to His glory live our days.
May we ever seek His face,
Exalt His name here in this place.
CHORUS
We shall stand upon this Rock,
Counting all this world as loss,
Finding everlasting joy
In the shadow of the cross.
VERSE
2. Keep His Word before our eyes,
At the center of our lives.
May those who see us plainly view
The love Christ through lives made new.
CHORUS
We shall stand upon this Rock,
Counting all this world as loss,
Finding everlasting joy
In the shadow of the cross.
VERSE
3. Pour out Your grace and mercy here,
Awaken hearts, Lord, bring us near.
Rest our faith in Christ alone,
Then send us out to make Him known.
CHORUS
We shall stand upon this Rock,
Counting all this world as loss,
Finding everlasting joy
In the shadow of the cross.
BRIDGE
We have nowhere else to turn
For righteousness we cannot earn.
There's no hope apart from grace,
O come, His gospel now embrace.
FINAL CHORUS
Come and stand upon this Rock,
Counting all this world as loss,
Here find everlasting joy
In the shadow of the cross.
TAG
You'll find everlasting joy
In the shadow of the cross.
