Built On The Rock Chords & Lyrics - Misc Praise Songs

Capo on 3rd fret

[Am]Built on the Rock the Church shall [E]stand
[Am]Even when [C]steeples are f[D]al[E]li[Am]ng.
[Am]Crumbled have spires in ev'ry l[E]and;
[Am]Bells still are c[C]himing and [D]cal[E]li[Am]ng,
[Am]Calling the [Em]young and [C]old [G]to [C]rest,
[Am]But above a[C]ll the s[B]oul dist[E]ressed,
[Am]Longing for r[F]est ever[E]last[Am]ing.

[Am]Surely in temples made with [E]hands
[Am]God, the Most [C]High, is not [D]dw[E]ell[Am]ing;
[Am]High above earth his temple [E]stands,
[Am]All earthly [C]temples e[D]xc[E]ell[Am]ing.
[Am]Yet he who [Em]dwells in [C]heav'n [G]ab[C]ove
[Am]Chooses to [C]live with [B]us in [E]love,
[Am]Making our [F]bodies his [E]tem[Am]ple.

[Am]We are God's house of living [E]stones,
[Am]Built for his [C]own habi[D]ta[E]ti[Am]on.
[Am]He through baptismal grace us [E]owns
[Am]Heirs of his [C]wondrous sal[D]va[E]ti[Am]on.
[Am]Were we but [Em]two his [C]name [G]to [C]tell,
[Am]Yet he would [C]deign with [B]us to [E]dwell
[Am]With all his [F]grace and his [E]fa[Am]vor.

[Am]Here stands the font before our [E]eyes,
[Am]Telling how [C]God did rec[D]ei[E]ve [Am]us.
[Am]Th' altar recalls Christ's sacri[E]fice
[Am]And what the [C]sacrament [D]gi[E]ves [Am]us.
[Am]Here sound the [Em]Scriptures [C]that [G]pro[C]claim
[Am]Christ yester[C]day, tod[B]ay, the [E]same,
[Am]And ever[F]more, our Re[E]dee[Am]mer.

[Am]Grant then, O God, your will be [E]done,
[Am]That, when the [C]church bells are [D]ri[E]ng[Am]ing,
[Am]Many in saving faith may [E]come
[Am]Where Christ his [C]message is [D]br[E]ing[Am]ing
[Am]"I know my [Em]own; my [C]own [G]know [C]me.
[Am]You, not the [C]world, my [B]face shall [E]see.
[Am]My peace I [F]leave with you [E]al[Am]ways."
