I wish I could explain, how things are not the same
Everything in my world has changed

I wish I could persuade, how all your elegance will fade
And only the rock will remain,
only the rock will remain

I know who can provide, the peace of mind you try to find
And healing for the scars you try to hide

'Cos I know the Man who died, to take you to the other side
Take you from your darkness to the light,
take you from your darkness to the light

I could never find forever, in a world that always seemed so cold
But now I find my freedom in surrender, to a love that's made of finest gold
In the rock that will remain, the rock that will remain
Jesus is my rock,
He will remain
