I Go To The Rock
Whitney Houston · The Preacher's Wife OST
Where do I go,
When there's nobody else to turn to
Who do I talk to,
When nobody wants to listen
Who do I lean on,
When there's no foundation stable
I go to the rock
I know he's able
I go to the rock
Chorus:
The Lord is the rock of my salvation
The Lord is the stone the builders rejected
I run to the mountain and the mountains stands by me
When the earth all around me is sinking sand
On Christ the solid rock I stand
When I need a shelter
When I need a friend
I go to the rock
Where do I go (x2)
When the storms of life are threating
Who do I turn to
When the winds of sorrow blow
And is there a refuge in the time of Tribulation
I go to the rock
I know he's able
I go to the rock
CHORUS (x2)
I go to the rock (x4)
You can go to the rock (x4)
I go to the rock (x6)
When the earth all around me is sinking sand
On Christ the solid rock I stand
When I need a shelter
When I need a friend
I go to the rock
I Go To The Rock
