Christ Our Rock

Reality at last sets in
     As phantoms blow away;
Forgiveness comes for all our sin
     By Him who is the Way.

O, how we’ve tried to kid ourselves
     That we can our truth make;
And pride in us begins to swell,
     But all we make is fake.

Our house of cards comes tumbling down
     When sand foundation moves;
We cry for help lest we all drown
     As falsehood is removed.

Away is sand foundation swept
     And with it make believe;
Beneath it Christ the Rock has kept
     Our life with sin reprieved. 

His Rock emerges pure and strong,
     His truth, reality;
The very thing for which we’ve longed:
     He’s our security.

And now on Rock He with us builds
     His Church will never fall;
With nail-scarred hands forever skilled,
     He wants to save us all. 

Reality will always win;
     For us He always lives.
Beneath us all He’s always been;
     To us Himself He gives.
