( - Anything can happen.)
( - Yes.)
When darkness falls upon me and it won't cease to rain
When I'm hurling and stumbling and about to fall down
Then You are my railing and my light on all of my ways
My cane and my crook, my staff, my footing and my ground
[Chorus 1:]
What I mean to say, is
I build on You
I believe in You
I long for You
Like nothing else in this world
When I'm lonely, I'm weak and I'm lost, when I'm cold and afraid
When the ground's pulled away from beneath me, I'm toppled by evil and plagued
Then You give the strength and protection for which I'm thirsting
How often did You save me, carry me, did You give me Your wings
[Chorus 1] & [Chorus 2:]
All I mean to say, is
I believe in You
I trust on You
I build upon You
Lord, You are the Rock
My heart is joyful and I want to thank You with my chant
For the grace and the peace and the bliss that You unfold to me
For the fortress that You are and the refuge that You alone grant
For the love, the prospect, the insight, freedom, hope, strength, energy
[Chorus 1 & 2]
