Standing On the Rock

Representative Text

1 Stand when the storms of doubt assail,
Stand when your loved ones of earth all fail,
Stand when your friends in Christ are few,
Stand on the Rock and ever be true.

Refrain:
Standing, standing on the Rock,
Standing on the Rock that ne’er shall move,
Oh, I’m standing, standing on the Rock,
Standing on the Rock that ne’er shall move.

2 When the word He writes upon your heart,
And you from the world are fully set apart,
Tho’ fiery darts are hurled at you,
Stand on the Rock and ever be true. [Refrain]

3 When the tides of sin roll at your feet,
And vain pomp and pride on ev’ry side you meet,
False prophets rise, and teachers, too,
Stand on the Rock and ever be true. [Refrain]

4 ‘Tis the precious blood that saves from sin,
Only by the blood thro’ the gate we’ll enter in,
Then trust His word as ‘tis giv’n you,
Stand on the Rock and ever be true. [Refrain]
