On This Rock B Thompson - © 2008 BMI

INTRO "On this rock I live each day--

VERSE 1
Roots through this rock - grow the tree that I lean on
Roots through this rock - grow the vines that bind my brothers and sisters
Roots through this rock - grow the hedge that protects me -
On this rock I live each day

CHORUS
I'm the Rock of my salvation - Nothing knocks me from this stand
I'm above the floods and higher than the fire - Here I share the Lord's desire
This rock, His rock, My rock, Sing with me again
- Nothing knocks me from this stand

VERSE 2
I walk on this rock - 'cuz there's no fears to run from
I walk on this rock - to get to where God wants me goin'
I walk on this rock - I know my feet won't slip and slide -
On this rock I live each day

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 3
The heart in this rock - beats in time with mine
The heart in this rock - knows me so I'm never lonely
The heart in this rock - spreads the blood He shed to free me -
On this rock I live each day

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 4
I pray on this rock - and praise His name in glory
I pray on this rock - 'cuz there's needs to feed in a world of sinners
I pray on this rock -for more people to feel the touch of Jesus -
On this rock I live each day

Repeat Chorus 2x to End
