Verse 1
I was standing on the edge of my own sinking sand
Trying to build a life with my own broken hands.
But the weight of my sin was a debt I couldn't pay
Until a man named Jesus turned His eyes my way.
He didn't ask for riches, He didn't ask for fame,
He just asked for this old heart, and took away my shame.
Chorus
'Cause upon this Rock, the foundation is secure
His mercy is a fountain, His promises are sure.
You don't have to work for it, you don't have to slave
Just open up your heart to the One who conquered the grave.
Oh, believe and receive, that’s all you have to do,
For the Savior on the cross did the heavy work for you
Verse 2
Now the accuser wants to tell me that I’ve gone too far
That a holy God could never love the way we are.
But I can point him to the rugged wood where mercy flowed,
Where the King of all glory carried my heavy load.
If you confess with your mouth and believe it in your mind
The sweetest peace on earth is exactly what you'll find.
Bridge
He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life
Our shelter in the storm, our comfort in the strife.
No height, no depth, can tear His love away
So step out on the promise that He offers you today!
Chorus
'Cause upon this Rock, the foundation is secure,
His mercy is a fountain, His promises are sure.
You don't have to work for it, you don't have to slave,
Just open up your heart to the One who conquered the grave.
Oh, believe and receive, that’s all you have to do,
For the Savior on the cross did the heavy work for you.
