Lyrics Rock Medley - Petra

Rock Medley

For so long I was depending upon
My senses and fences, I tried to ride on
And trusting in things that can never be seen
Was always a crutch on which others must lean
Thinking if I could see I would believe
Then somebody said believe and you will see
Sight unseen, sight unseen
You have to take it sight unseen
Blinded by the darkness only faith can come between
Sight unseen, sight unseen
In the heat of early morning on a hill they call the Skull
The roaring of the angry mob had settled to a lull
All eyes were cast upon the man whose hands and feet were bound
They watched him cry in anguish when they heard the hammer pound
They watched the bloody woven thorns with which his head was crowned
They watched the bloody cross of wood be dropped into the ground
The soldiers gambled for His clothes, they watched them win and lose
They saw the sign above his head that said King of the Jews
(It is finished) And the sky grew black as the night
(It is finished) And the people scattered in fright
The work had been done, redemption had been won
The war was over without a fight
It is finished
You can think of times when you had the right chance
You could make a choice when nobody could see
You could think of ways of defending your deeds
Justify the way that you wanted to be
Wait just a minute
Wait just a minute
Hey, did you ever think twice
Something inside says stay away
Hey, did you ever think twice
When there’s still time you can go the other way
Hey, did you ever think twice
If you don’t bother, gonna pay the price
Hey, did you ever think twice
The earth is shakin'
It’s like a bad dream
This world is crumblin'
Comin' apart at the seam but
I am on the rock
Everywhere i’m tunning it’s only bad news
This bomb is tickin' and we’re getting to the end of the fuse
I am on the rock
I am on the rock, the sure fundation
I am on the rock
I am on the rock, his revelation
Though the winds may blow
And though the floods may grow
I shall not be moved, 'cause i am on the rock
We wait since the day He ascended
He said He would come again
Some think it will be such a long time
Some they the know just when
We live like there’s no tomorrow
We wait with out lamps of oil
We watch for the midnight hour
The day we cease our toil
When the trumpet sounds and the bridegroom comes
The wedding’s gonna be so royal
So we gotta keep staying loyal
'Cause our feet are gonna leave this soil
When we burn the midnight oil
When we burn the midnight oil
Smell the burning powder?
There’s danger in the air
A voice from deep inside is telling you, 'you must beware'
Then enemy is watching
Every step you take
To find his opportunity in every choice you make
And it’s no game
When someone lives without His grace
And who’s to blame
When it blows up in your face
It’s a mine field — you’d better follow Him through
God knows the way — you’d better stick like glue
It’s a mine field — better stay on His heels
'cause the enemy kills and the enemy steals
So keep your head down and keep you eyes peeled
'cause life is…
Life is a mine field
Son of the morning — highest of all
You had so much going till you took the fall
Had a place in the glory but you wanted it all
Impossible odds but you had the gall
It seemed so unlikely that you would rebel
Such a worthy opponent that you knew so well
But you went down fighting when you heard the bell
Took a third down from heaven when you went to hell
This means war — and the battle’s still raging
War — and though both sides are waging
The Victor is sure and the victory secure
But till judgment we all must endure
This means war!
(It is finished) And the sky grew black as the night
(It is finished) And the people scattered in fright
The work had been done, redemption had been won
The war was over without a fight
It is finished
