Built On Rock

Description: Acid Jazz Ballad https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqbZD7eSWcHYX-mzH3rARjCuCKdXRW8kU&si=7kFGRv7WybbSHjNE Jesus told a story about two builders. One built his house on sand — and when the rain fell and the floods came and the winds blew, it collapsed. The other built on rock — and the same rain fell, the same floods came, the same winds beat against it — and it stood. This is a song about a woman who has chosen to build on rock. Not the rock of her own strength or her own feelings or her own ability to hold things together when life tries to pull them apart. The rock of a love anchored to something deeper — the word of God, the character of the man she loves, and the covenant she has made with her whole heart and soul. She has watched him stand like a fortress gate when the world demanded he step aside. She has seen his feet planted in the word like roots drinking from river light — unmoved by the crowd, unbowed by the pressure, unbroken by the cost of choosing what is right. And she has seen the other side of that strength — the tenderness that turns to her so kind, so sure, so easy to believe. He makes her feel like heaven smiled and set its hand on her — cherished like a holy gift, held close in mercy. And so she builds. Not on sand. Not on sentiment. Not on the shifting ground of convenience or comfort. On rock. She builds a home around his heart with children and laughter and prayers spoken over every doorway. She builds a devotion that does not bend in the wind but burns like fire that will not end. She builds a love that will be standing long after the storms have exhausted themselves and moved on — because the foundation was never the feeling. The foundation was the rock. And the rock does not move. Not for a season. Not for a sorrow. Not for a mile. Not until the last breath leaves her lungs and even then — even then — what was built on rock will still be standing Built On Rock [Verse 1] I love you more than words can hold Deeper than a breath can say Beneath the place where silence keeps The oldest vows it knows You stand like a fortress gate When the whole world says, move aside Your feet stay planted in the Word Like roots in river light [Pre-Chorus] And when the crowd comes loud You do not bow You face it down You stand your ground And in that strength You turn to me So kind, so sure So easy to believe [Chorus] I will stay with you I will stay with you I see you, I know you I am not leaving you Built on rock, built on rock My heart is built on rock All my love, all my soul I will stay with you [Verse 2] You make me feel like heaven smiled And set its hand on me Cherished like a holy gift Held close in mercy I want a home around your heart With children, laughter, prayer Every doorway marked with grace And hope that lingers there [Pre-Chorus] And in the night When faith costs more I’ll be the voice Beside you, sure When right is hard And fear is near I’ll hold your name And speak it clear [Chorus] I will stay with you I will stay with you I see you, I know you I am not leaving you Built on rock, built on rock My heart is built on rock All my love, all my soul I will stay with you [Bridge] Not for a season Not for a while For every sorrow For every mile My devotion Won’t bend in the wind It burns like fire And it will not end [Final Chorus] I will stay with you I will stay with you I see you, I know you I am not leaving you Built on rock, built on rock My heart is built on rock All my love, all my soul I will stay with you Built on rock, built on rock Till the breath leaves my lungs All my heart, all my soul I will stay with you
