standing on the rock

my cup was empty

now it overflows

the sky was grey but now my garden grows

my soul's on fire and my heart's aflame

i've got more blessings than a man can claim

standing on the rock. life is getting better every day

sweet compassion's coming over me

gonna keep on walking in the safety zone

till that old black carriage come and take me home

standing on the rock. the flood did rise but my feet stayed dry

the sun stayed with me when the tide was high

then i went to the river and washed my soul

i asked my forgiver to make me whole

standing on the rock.
