He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
And Simon Peter answered and said,
Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
And Jesus answered and said unto him,
Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona:
for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee,
but my Father which is in heaven.
And I say also unto thee,
That thou art Peter,
and upon this rock I will build my church;
and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
(Mat 16:15-18)
when other see with earthly eyes
just what they want to see
you will see the thing that never die
you will know and recognize
by simple child-like faith
the priceless truth that
others will denied
when others say i'm just a man
who likes to dream his dream
when others call a miracle a myth
you'll listen for eternity
in moments as they pass
and see with spirit eyes
what other 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 it self
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 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 it self
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 mighty nation
and it shall stand the storms of time
upon this rock I'll build my kingdom
and on this rock forever it shall stand
upon this rock of revelation
I'll build a strong mighty nation
and it shall stand the storms of time
upon this rock
I'll build my church
upon this rock
upon this rock
