Lyrics

Redemption to my soul has come—
I’m stand­ing on the Rock at last!
In Je­sus I am shout­ing on—
I’m stand­ing on the Rock at last!

Refrain

Oh, I’m stand­ing on the Rock,
I’m stand­ing on the Rock,
I’m stand­ing on the Rock at last!
My soul has found a rest­ing place—
I’m stand­ing on the Rock at last!

The Sav­ior comes and speaks to me—
I’m stand­ing on the Rock at last!
And whis­pers, Grace hath made thee free—
I’m stand­ing on the Rock at last!

Refrain

There is a home for you and me—
I’m stand­ing on the Rock at last!
Just ov­er Jor­dan’s roil­ing sea—
I’m stand­ing on the Rock at last!

Refrain

Now I am hap­py in His love—
I’m stand­ing on the Rock at last!
And on my way to Heav’n I move—
I’m stand­ing on the Rock at last!
