There's a voice in the silence
Piercing the darkness of my own selfish soul
There's a cry deep within me
A yearning to feel you, I look to you Lord
PRECHORUS
I can't pretend I don't run from
the feelings I'm trying to hide
Must get the focus off me and my problems
I look to the cross
CHORUS
You are my rock, on you I stand
Safe from the storms that surround me
You're my only rock, in you I can
Don't have to rely on my own strength
BRIDGE
Oooooh……. I hold on to you Lord
Oooooh……………….Ooooooh
There's a voice in the silence, piercing the darkness of my own selfish soul
There's a cry deep within me, a yearning to fell you
I look to you, Lord
I can pretend I don't run from the feelings I'm trying to hide
Must get the focus of me and my problems
I look to the cross
You are my Rock
On You I stand
Safe from the storms that surround me
You're my only Rock, In you I can
Ps. 18
Moving through the shadows of uncertainty
Clinging to the words You said
Through my loneliness and fear
I long to feel you near
But I hear another voice inside my head
But then the darkness is broken into
By inescapable light from You
I'm never standing alone
Chorus:
You Are my Rock
My Fortress, my Shield
You Are my Rock
Let Your Strength be revealed
My Rock, my Comfort, my Peace
My Salvation, my Refuge, my God
You Are my Rock
Through the desperate night
My soul cries out to You
Longing just to hear Your Voice
In the quiet solitude
I sense your magnitude
And feel the Strength
That makes my heart rejoice
You Are the Anchor securing me
I'll never drift on the shifting sea
You Are the Eye of the storm
Repeat Chorus
Through all loneliness
This world could ever bring
I'll take my refuge
In the Shadow of Your Wing
I sung too many sad love songs in my days
I think it's time to turn me a new page right now (yeah)
I've had my share of problems, I've made my mistakes
But somehow in the mist of the rain I found
Someone who loves and cares for me
No matter what I say or do I know he'll never leave my side
I found the love of my life
Cause you are my rock
So strong you hold me down baby through it all
No matter how far your arms always catch me before I fall
You are my bridge all by the water without you I couldn't cross
Even a minute apart and boy I swear to you my heart would just stop
Cause you are my rock
No more going back and forth see I made up my mind
Cause I intend to spend my whole life with you (oh yeah)
Some people die trying but they never find
But after when I look in your eyes it's true
I'm just so glad you care for me
No matter what I say or do I know he'll never leave my side babe
I found the love of my life
Cause you are my rock
So strong you hold me down through it all
No matter how far your arms always catch me before I fall
You are my bridge all by the water without you I couldn't cross
Even a minute apart and boy I swear to you my heart would just stop
Now ladies if you found someone to love
Then let me see you throw your hands up
And if you know your man is down with you through it all
Then let me see you stand up
Let me hear you say I found someone who cares for me
No matter what I say or do I know he'll never leave my side
I found the love of my life
Cause you are my rock
So strong you hold me down through it all
No matter how far your arms always catch me before I fall
You are my bridge all by the water without you I couldn't cross
Even a minute apart and boy I swear to you my heart would just stop
Cause you are my rock
Whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa (and I want you to know)
Whoa whoa whoa (cause you are my rock)
Cause you are my rock
No one can buy true love in their life
We all need someone on standby
The night drew long you kept me strong
Now I can thank you in this song
You are my rock, you touch my soul
You brought me light, when all hope was gone
You showed me the secrets, that I could unlock
You are my brother, you are my rock
I've seen people come and go young and old from all walks of life
They all leave a bookmark in the story that I write
Only when your luck's run out you find out who really counts
You are my rock, you touch my soul
You brought me light, when I couldn't go on
You showed me the secrets, that I could unlock
You are my brother, you are my rock
No one can buy new love in their life
As a voice in the silence, piercing the darkness of my own selfish soul
There's a cry deep within me, a yearning to feel you
I look to you, Lord
I can't pretend I don't run from the feelings
I'm trying to hide
Must get the focus of me and my problems
I look to the Christ
You are my Rock
On You I stand
Safe from the storms that surround me
You're my only Rock, In you I can
Lord, let Your rain fall down
'Cause You are my rock
You are my rock
Wash away the sand and the clay
'Cause You are my rock
You are my rock
And when I fall and need something stable
You are my rock
You are my rock
I fall on my knees and lay down at Your table
'Cause You are my rock
You are my rock
And when I fall
You pick me up and bring me there
And when I'm down on my knees
You'll pick me up and bring back where
Above the storms of life Above the raging seas Above all earthly things You are good When trials come in time I stand on what is right That your unfailing word Still remains
What heights of Love What depths of peace
You are my Rock You're my guide You're my ever present shelter You are my hope You're my song I will trust in You alone Unfailing God
