The Foundation

THE FOUNDATION

Verse 1

I tried to build my house on the shifting sand

Trying to hold the world in my own two hands

But the wind blew hard and the rain came down

And I watched my kingdom crumble to the ground

I was looking for a savior in the things I could buy

But the well ran dry and the truth was a lie.

Chorus 1

But You are the rock, You are the floor

I’m not looking for a handhold anymore

When the earth begins to shake and the mountains fall

You’re the only name that I’m gonna call

Solid ground beneath my feet

In Your presence, the work is complete.

Verse 2

Now the structure is rising, the frame is strong

I finally found the place where I belong

It’s not made of brick, and it’s not made of stone

It’s built on the promise that I’m never alone

The windows are open to the Spirit’s breath

A life that is stronger than the sting of death.

Rap Section

Yeah, let's talk about the blueprints...

I was drafting a life with a broken pen,

Starting it over again and again.

Trying to patch up the cracks with a temporary fix,

But you can’t build a temple with hollow bricks.

I had the "look" of a building, but the inside was hollow,

Chasing a shadow I wasn't meant to follow.

Then the Master Architect stepped on the site,

He turned on the power and He brought in the light.

He tore down the walls that were built out of pride,

And fixed all the damage I was keeping inside.

Now I’m bolted to the Mercy, anchored to the Grace,

I’m a living construction in a holy place.

The storm can come knocking, but the door is secure,

The Foundation is heavy, the Foundation is pure.

Chorus 2

You are the rock, You are the floor

I’m not looking for a handhold anymore

When the earth begins to shake and the mountains fall

You’re the only name that I’m gonna call

Solid ground beneath my feet

In Your presence, the work is complete.

Bridge

I shall not be moved (I shall not be moved)

I’m standing on the Truth (Standing on the Truth)

I shall not be moved!

I’m standing on the Truth!

Chorus 3

You are the rock, You are the floor

I’m not looking for a handhold anymore

When the earth begins to shake and the mountains fall

You’re the only name that I’m gonna call

Solid ground beneath my feet

In Your presence, the work is complete.

Outro

On Christ the solid rock I stand...

All other ground is sinking sand.

I'm standing...

Yeah, I'm standing firm.

The Foundation.
