Upon This Rock lyrics

Song information

Artist: Newsboys
Album: Not Ashamed

Lyrics

Chasing after the rainbow's end
Left me clutching a fistful of wind

That last adventure must have been just
A waste of my time

Ten pleasures for every wish
Twenty scratches for every itch
One hundred ways to catch a fish
Just a waste of my time
Dead beats, dead end streets
Every step I falter
Fill my cup, fill me up
Take me to the altar

Chorus
Upon this rock I've a reason
Upon this rock I am strong
Upon this rock I've a reason
I'm standing here where I belong

Wish I hadn't built as big a house
Makes it hard to catch a little mouse
(I'd chase it but I'm feeling drowsy, all
From wasting my time.)

I need a glimpse of my calling now, get
My feet back behind the plow
This idle age will not allow just a waste
Of my time
This day burns away every indecision
Angst-free anchor me

Make my life a mission

- chorus
