Sandi Patty Upon This Rock Lyrics

When others see with earthly eyes
Just what they want to see
You will see the things that never die
You will know and recognize
By simple child-like faith
The priceless truth that
Others will deny.

When others say I'm just a man
Who likes to dream His dreams
When others call a miracle a myth
You'll listen for eternity
In moments as they pass
And see with spirit eyes
What others miss.

Upon this rock I'll build My kingdom
And on this rock forever and ever it shall stand
And all the powers of hell itself
Shall never more 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 shall stand the storms of time
Upon this rock.

If in a simple carpenter
You see the Son of God
If you would chose to lose When you could win
If you would give your life away
For nothing in return
Then you are where
My kingdom will begin.

Upon this rock I'll build My kingdom
And on this rock forever and ever it shall stand
And all the powers of hell itself
Shall never more 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 shall stand the storms of time
Upon this rock.

(I'll build) I'll build My kingdom
And on this rock (forever) 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.

(Upon this rock) I'll build My church upon this rock.
I'll build My church upon this rock.
