Building On That Rock

Chorus
Are you building (building) on the Rock
Are you building (building) on the Rock
Are you building (building) on the Rock
Or on the sinking sand

Are you building on the Rock eternal
Are you building on the sinking sand
Are you going to that home eternal
In that brighter far-off happy land

Are you building on a strong foundation
Can you stand the stormy sea of life
'Mid the surging billows' wild commotion
Do you conquer in the raging strife

Are you building on a strong foundation
With an anchor that will keep your soul
Livin' in His love and truth unskaken
Grounded firm and deep though billows roll

Are you building on a strong foundation
Can you stand the awful judgement shock
Are you grounded in His great salvation
Fastened like an anchor to the Rock
