Verse 1

Rock of Ages hear my plea
Let me hide myself in Thee
Let the rivers of Your mercy
Never cease to flow
Be the shelter for my soul

Chorus

I will build my house
I will build my house
I will build my house on the rock
And it won’t fall down

Verse 2

Not by labor of my hands
Not by power not by plans
You created all the Earth
And waters with Your voice
Breath of heaven
Be my source

Chorus

I will build my house
I will build my house
I will build my house on the rock
And it won’t fall down

Verse 3

Nothing in my hands I bring
Simply to Your cross I cling
I was lost and I was losing
Every sense of hope
But my God
You led me home

Chorus

I will build my house
I will build my house
I will build my house on the rock
And it won’t fall down

Verse 4

From the dust I came
And will return
When You come to claim
Your spotless Church
I will bow before the One
Who’s seated on the throne
Rock of Ages You alone

Chorus

I will build my house
I will build my house
I will build my house on the rock
And it won’t fall down

Tag

I will build my house on the rock
And it won’t fall down

Refrain

I'm standing on the firm foundation
I'm standing on the firm foundation

Refrain

I'm standing on the firm foundation
