John C Marks - The Solid Rock Lyrics

He works hard, but times are tough
Paycheck won't stretch far enough
Manages to makes ends meet
By choosing between want and need
Look around and you will find
Values shifting all the time
Everyday the next big thing
But our foundations weakening
Got to build our life on the solid rock
Not place our hope in earthly stock
Won't have to wonder will it stand or not
If we build our life on the solid rock
At it again it happens every night
Debt piles up they start to fight
Chasing that American dream
Now they just want to be free
Free to build their life on the solid rock
Not place their hope on earthly stock
We won't have to wonder if it stands or not
If we build our life on the solid rock... yeah
Storms will come and they will go
With wind and rain the land erodes
If this ground is sinking sand
Jesus said it will never stand
Got to build our life on the solid rock
Not place our hope in earthly stock
Won't have to wonder will it stand or not
If we build our life on the solid rock
Got to build our life on the solid rock
Not place our hope in earthly stock
Won't have to wonder will it stand or not
If we build our life on the solid rock
