Christ is the Rock on which I Build Don Fortner

(Tune: Ō272 — The Solid Rock — LM)

 

1.        Christ is the Rock on which I build,

My Shelter, my Defense and Shield.

The prince of darkness IÕll not fear,

For Christ, my Lord, is always near.

 

Refrain: In Christ secure, by grace I stand.

He holds me in His mighty hand.

He holds me in His mighty hand.

 

2.        Though trials come, and billows roll,

And hell itself attacks my soul,

My Savior will defend me well

Against the power of earth and hell.

 

3.        Though oft I sin and fall, I know,

My Savior will not let me go.

By His almighty grace HeÕll keep

His fickle, frail, and helpless sheep.
