The Rock (That Was Rolled Away)

Clay Crosse


I've got trials and tribulations 
Troubles all around 
My desires and expectations 
Have me lost more than I'm found 

And Lord knows I often falter 
In the smallness of my pride 
But when I kneel down at His altar 
I am lifted up inside 

'Til I stand upon that mountain 
'Til I sit beside the throne 
'Til the waters of love's fountain carry me home 
'Til I rise up from this mortal clay 
Of blood and bone 
Let the rock that was rolled away 
Be my cornerstone 

Help me face every tomorrow 
Give me strength to bear the load 
Give me signs that I can follow 
Set my feet upon the road 

And may He who walked on water 
Give me courage where I tread 
And when I kneel down at His altar 
Let my hungry soul be fed 

'Til I stand upon that mountain 
'Til I sit beside the throne 
'Til the waters of love's fountain 'til carry me home 
'Til I rise up from this mortal clay 
Of blood and bone 
Let the rock that was rolled away 
Let the rock that was rolled away (yeah) 
Let the rock that was rolled away 
Be my cornerstone 

Let this faith be my foundation 
This hope my liberation 
'Til I fly away 
On that glorious, glorious day 

'Til I stand upon that mountain 
'Til I sit beside the throne (yeah) 
'Til the waters of love's fountain carry me home 
'Til I rise up from this mortal clay 
Of blood and bone 
Let the rock that was rolled away (oh yeah) 
Let the rock that was rolled away (yeah) 
Let the rock that was rolled away 
Let the rock that was rolled away (Let it be my cornerstone) 
Let the rock, the rock that was rolled away 
Let the rock that was rolled away (let the rock that was rolled away) 
Let the rock, the rock that was rolled away 
Let the rock that was rolled away 
Let the rock that was rolled away
