Verse 1:

Down here we have to live life in a temporary home
We are all just passing through and then we're moving on
To places weighed from which to choose to spend eternity
The time is now the plan just where our final home will be

Chorus:

I'm building on the Rock of Ages
Rock of Victory
As I work with all my heart, that Rock shelters me
I know the Mighty Rock is Jesus sent to set us free
I'm building on the Rock of Ages
Solid rock eternally

Verse 2:

Christ died that mortal souls would have a future dwelling place
Mansions in construction, a foundation has been laid
So I will labor here below, my strength the Lord supplies
Heaven waits beyond the grave where I long to reside

(Chorus)
