The Rock: That Rolls Away the Stone


The Rock that rolls away the stone
Knows His very own
Crushed the head with His heel bone
Goes to prepare a mansion in His home

The Rock that rolls away the stone
Different from Rock n Roll and those 
               who get stoned
His Word is heard from every pulpit 
As if it were from where He is enthroned

And every repentant heart’s bemoaning 
As the Spirit’s extolled, and sin receives its stoning
The Rock is presently rolling
Amongst the candlestands patrolling

In that day will it be quiet and pessimistic?
No, it will be the loudest and intrinsic
The Rock will roll away the stone
Every tribe, tongue and nation will gather in Zion

So, build your good foundation 
             on the Good Foundation
Don’t run and hide in a new location
Adam, why didn’t you protect your bride?
Within sin’s fathoms light can’t coincide 

But fathom this: The Rock 
The Rock that rolls way the stone
Predestines suffering
So that He may provide the growth

So, praise be, for He is rightly to be praised
This Jesus (we need to heed) He has raised
The Rock that rolls away the honed 
Is the Church’s Cornerstone

Upon Whom it is built
When on white horse He will assail 
With The [S]Word of His mouth
And hell will not prevail
