Upon This Rock...

"...and upon this rock I will build my church and the

gates of Hell will not prevail against it."

Matthew 16:18

Above the ruins of the Central Pentecostal Ministries Church in storm-ravaged 

Lynn Haven, Florida the cross remains standing unscathed by the 

terrible winds and heavy rains of Hurricane Michael.

The cross, it standeth fast-

Hallelujah, hallelujah!

Defying every blast-

Hallelujah, hallelujah!

The winds of Hell have blown,

The world its hate hath shone,

Yet it is not overthrown-

Hallelujah for the cross!

(Refrain)

Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah for the cross;

Hallelujah, hallelujah,

It shall never suffer loss!

It is the old cross still-

Hallelujah, hallelujah!

Its triumph let us tell-

Hallelujah! hallelujah!

The grace of God here shone

Thru Christ, the blessed Son,

Who did for sin atone-

Hallelujah for the cross!

(Refrain)

'Twas here the debt was paid-

Hallelujah, hallelujah!

Our sins on Jesus laid-

Hallelujah, hallelujah!

So round the cross we sing

Of Christ, our offering,

Of Christ, our living king-

Hallelujah for the cross!
