Look To the Rock of Ages (Partial Version-Part One)

Let us not aim to build our houses upon the sand, but rather...
look to the Rock of Ages who came before us in this Land

A happy heart can make a glad face
in this ungodly wretched rat race
There are those that scare, and those that don't care
yet, there is nothing that is new under the sun
so just keep serving Our Consistent Holy One
Let us not aim to build our houses upon the sand,but rather...
look to the Rock of Ages who came before us in this Land

Now, look to Heaven, build ya'lls heart's treasure
and in time to come , the Lord will measure
just rise above and move onward, soldier
and with your faith ,become ever bolder
become a living oasis in this arid desert-land
for those that are parched with a terrible thirst
don't wait for others to do it; ya'll go ahead and be the first
Let us not aim to build our houses upon the sand,but rather...
look to the Rock of Ages who came before us in this Land

Become a lighthouse within the sea
for those lost souls to come to thee
Now, mercy can equal crosses and homework 
for those who have been made wide-awake
so we do our reasonable service ,at least ,for the Lord's sake

Remember Nicodemus was mixed among the weeds,
now let this be your guide when you set out to plant some seeds
To whom much is given, much is required;
a lifetime of practice that should not be retired

May we search the Holy Book to crumble down those walls
and sing Mariam's Song of Victory as we deck the grayest halls
We walk by faith,and not by sight
we must have hope in our Heavenly fight
and endure until the end; keep focused,my friend
Let us not aim to build our houses upon the sand,but rather,
look to the Rock of Ages who came before us in this Land
