Church on Rock

[Intro pipe organ] [Verse 1] In the heart of Rome, a story's told, Of faith and grace, in days of old, A shepherd's love, for his flock so wide, The Catholic Church, our steadfast guide. [Chorus] Oh, holy mother, we sing to thee, From mountains high to the rolling sea, With faith and hope, we journey on, In the light of Christ, from dusk till dawn. [Verse 2] Through centuries of joy and pain, Your light has shone through sun and rain, With saints and sinners, side by side, In mercy’s arms, we all abide. [Chorus] Oh, holy mother, we sing to thee, From mountains high to the rolling sea, With faith and hope, we journey on, In the light of Christ, from dusk till dawn. (Chorus) Oh, holy mother, we sing to thee, From mountains high to the rolling sea, With faith and hope, we journey on, In the light of Christ, from dusk till dawn. (Bridge) In cathedrals grand, and chapels small, Your spirit lives within us all, In every Mass, and every prayer, We feel your love, we know you’re there. (Verse 3) From Peter’s rock, to hearts anew, Your message clear, your promise true, In sacrament and sacred word, Your timeless voice is always heard. [Chorus] Oh, holy mother, we sing to thee, From mountains high to the rolling sea, With faith and hope, we journey on, In the light of Christ, from dusk till dawn. [Verse 3] From Peter’s rock, to hearts anew, Your message clear, your promise true, In sacrament and sacred word, Your timeless voice is always heard. [Outro] So here we stand, in unity, A family of faith, eternally, With open hearts, we pledge to stay, In the Church's love, day by day. [Outro] So here we stand, in unity, A family of faith, eternally, With open hearts, we pledge to stay, In the Church's love, day by day.
