Verse 1

Built on the Rock
by Misc Praise Songs
[Am]Built on the Rock the [E]Church shall stand
[Am]Even whe[C]n steepl[D]es [E]a[Am]re falling.
[Am]Crumbled have spires[E] in ev'ry land;
[Am]Bells still a[C]re chim[D]ing[E] a[Am]nd calling,
[Am]Calling t[Em]he young[C] an[G]d o[C]ld to rest,
[Am]But above[C] all [B]the s[E]oul distressed,
[Am]Longing fo[F]r res[E]t e[Am]verlasting.
[Am]Surely in temples[E] made with hands
[Am]God, the M[C]ost High[D], [E]is [Am]not dwelling;
[Am]High above earth [E]his temple stands,
[Am]All earth[C]ly tem[D]ple[E]s [Am]excelling.
[Am]Yet he w[Em]ho dwel[C]ls in[G] h[C]eav'n above
[Am]Chooses t[C]o live[B] with[E] us in love,
[Am]Making o[F]ur bod[E]ies[Am] his temple.
[Am]We are God's house[E] of living stones,
[Am]Built for h[C]is ow[D]n [E]ha[Am]bitation.
Am   E
He through baptismal grace us owns
[Am]Heirs of h[C]is wond[D]ro[E]us[A] salvation.
[Am]Were we b[Em]ut two[C] hi[G]s n[C]ame to tell,
[Am]Yet he wo[C]uld dei[B]gn w[E]ith us to dwell
[Am]With all h[F]is grace [E]an[Am]d his favor.
[Am]Here stands the font[E] before our eyes,
[Am]Telling h[C]ow God [D]di[E]d [Am]receive us.
[Am]Th' altar recalls Chris[E]t's sacrifice
[Am]And what [C]the sa[D]cr[E]ame[Am]nt gives us.
[Am]Here sound[Em] the Scr[C]iptu[G]re[C]s that proclaim
[Am]Christ yes[C]terda[B]y, to[E]day, the same,
[Am]And ev[F]ermore[E], [Am]our Redeemer.
[Am]Grant then, O God, y[E]our will be done,
[Am]That, when [C]the church[D] b[E]el[Am]ls are ringing,
[Am]Many in saving [E]faith may come
[Am]Where Christ[C] his m[D]es[E]sag[Am]e is bringing
[Am]"I know[Em] my ow[C]n; [G]my [C]own know me.
[Am]You, not t[C]he wor[B]ld, my [E]face shall see.
Am   F   E Am
My peace I leave with you always."
