Newsboys - Upon This Rock lyrics

rate me

Chasing after the rainbow's end

left me clutching a fistful of wind.

That last adventure must have been just

a waste of my time.

Ten pleasures for every wish.

Twenty scratches for every itch.

One hundred ways to catch a fish.

Just a waste of my time.

Dead beats, dead end streets,

every step I falter.

Fill my cup, fill me up,

take me to the altar.

Chorus

Upon this rock I've a reason.

Upon this rock I am strong.

Upon this rock I've a reason.

I'm standing here where I belong.

Wish I hadn't built as big a house.

Makes it hard to catch a little mouse.

(I'd chase it but I'm feeling drowsy, all

from wasting my time.)

I need a glimpse of my calling now, get

my feet back behind the plow.

This idle age will not allow just a waste

of my time.

This day burns away every indecision.

Angst-free anchor me.

Make my life a mission.

- Chorus
