Feet On The Rock
Bill & Gloria Gaither Lyrics

Well I wanna talk to you for a minute,
I have something important to share with you and I hope you'll listen.

About an old man I met,
I had an encounter with an elderly man.

He said,Boy, you look in trouble,
He noticed that I appeared to be in distress.

And I bet your life's a mess,
He could tell that my life was probably chaotic.

He said, I used to have the same problem too,
He shared that he had experienced a similar issue in his own life.

I was way out of control,
He admitted that he had completely lost control.

You know the only thing that set it right for me,
He revealed that there was only one thing that helped him find a solution.

Was a little good old rock and roll,
That solution was finding solace in classic rock and roll music.

(Chorus 1)
The chorus repeats the main message of the song.

I put my feet on the rock,
I firmly stand upon a solid foundation.

And my name on the roll,
I have ensured my place on a list or record.

When it's called up yonder,
In the future, when the call is made from above.

I won't worry 'bout my soul,
I will not be concerned about the state of my spiritual being.

I know my home is waiting,
I am confident that my eternal dwelling place is ready for me.

And it's something to behold,
It is truly remarkable and awe-inspiring.

I put my feet on the rock,
I firmly stand upon a solid foundation.

And my name on the roll,
I have ensured my place on a list or record.

(Verse 2)
The second verse continues the story.

I'd never heard the gospel,
I had never been exposed to the message of salvation.

Spread like that before,
Shared so passionately and widely in such a way.

I guess the message comes in many ways,
I realized that the message of the gospel can be delivered in various forms.

Those simple words of wisdom,
The straightforward words of truth and guidance.

Can open heaven's door,
Have the power to grant access to the realm of eternal bliss.

So every time I get the chance I say,
Therefore, whenever given the opportunity, I share the message I have received.

(Chorus 2)
The second chorus reiterates the main theme.

Come on, put your feet on the rock,
I encourage you to firmly stand upon a solid foundation.

And your name on the roll,
Ensure your place on a list or record.

When it's called up yonder,
In the future, when the call is made from above.

You won't worry 'bout your soul,
You won't have any concerns about the state of your spiritual being.

You know your home is waiting,
You can be certain that your eternal dwelling place is prepared for you.

And it's something to behold,
It is truly remarkable and awe-inspiring.

So put your feet on the rock,
Therefore, firmly stand upon a solid foundation.

And your name on the roll,
Ensure your place on a list or record.

Repeat
The song concludes by repeating the chorus.
