You Are the Rock
Building on the Rock: Miles Smith's Anthem of Trust and Faith
Lyrics
There was a man who built his house right on top of the sand
Building a house on sand signifies making decisions without considering long-term consequences.
He didn't stop to think if God had a better plan
Failure to contemplate God's guidance and plan before making choices.
Then one stormy night, winds blew while thunderous rain came tumbling down
Describing a turbulent event (storm) in life with challenges (winds, rain).
The man had nothing left, his house lay all over the ground
The consequences of not having a solid foundation - the collapse of the man's house.
Jesus! (Jesus!) we need your firm foundation
Call for reliance on Jesus as a firm foundation for life, emphasizing trust and commitment to His ways.
Jesus! (Jesus!) We'll build across all nations
-You are the rock! And we trust in what you say
-We'll never stop! We will follow all your ways
-You are the rock, and you love us everyday
-We'll never stop, we are building up your kingdom!
-There was a man who built his house right on top of the rocks
Contrast with the first man, highlighting the wise choice of building on rocks (symbolizing a strong foundation).
He trusted from the start that God was close to his heart
Expressing trust in God's closeness and guidance from the beginning.
Then one stormy night, winds blew while thunderous rain came tumbling down
Similar storm, but the house on rocks withstands the challenges, indicating resilience and strength.
His house could take the fight, while it stood right on top of the rocks
-Jesus! (Jesus!) we need your firm foundation
Repeated call to Jesus for a firm foundation, trust, and commitment, emphasizing the importance of following His ways.
Jesus! (Jesus!) We'll build across all nations
-You are the rock! And we trust in what you say
-We'll never stop! We will follow all your ways
-You are the rock, and you love us everyday
-We'll never stop, we are building up your kingdom!
-Jesus! (Jesus!) we need your firm foundation
-Jesus! (Jesus!) We'll build across all nations
-You are the rock! And we trust in what you say
-We'll never stop! We will follow all your ways
-You are the rock, and you love us everyday
-We'll never stop, we are building up your kingdom!
-You are the rock! And we trust in what you say
Reiteration of trust in Jesus, commitment to following His ways, and actively building His kingdom without ceasing.
We'll never stop! We will follow all your ways
-You are the rock, and you love us everyday
-We'll never stop, we are building up your kingdom!
