1.  Now, in this age, guns seem to rule:

they take our goods, and take our lives,

And now they dare invade our church;

Have we now lost our sanctuary?

No! Our refuge they can not take!

For they can never move our Rock.

Our refuge they can never take;

For they can never move our Rock.

 

2. The Lord's my rock and my fortress,    Psalm 31:1-5

the Corner Stone whom God has laid.   1 Peter 2:6

He is my strength and my refuge;   Psalm 46:1

He has gone to prepare a place

in the House of Many Rooms.    John 14:2

We know the way; We know the Rock.    John 14:6-7

Our refuge they can never take;

For they can never move our Rock.

 

3. The Living Stone is Jesus Christ,    1 Peter 2:4

the foundation stone of our church;

and as we come, we too become

like living stones in Him as one -

a holy house built up in Him,

to glorify His holy name.   1 Peter 2:5

Our refuge they can never take;

For they can never move our Rock.

 

4. Now in this age guns do not rule;  

do not let your hearts be troubled

Trust in God and trust in Jesus,

For He prepares a place for you.   John 14:1

The Father’s house has many rooms,

and one of them is just for you!   John 14:2

For nobody can ever take

the strong rock of your salvation!
