The Rock

Outside Savanna, spring of 1844

They drove the last nail in and opened up the doors

Jedediah Moore was the first to be baptized

Saw him married here and buried here

When the Yankees took his life

I've felt the pain of people fighting their own demon

And the presence of the power that finally freed them

I'm a bright and shining beacon, giving shelter in the storm

Every saint and sinner, I greet with open arms

I am the rock, I am stained glass and stone

The foundation that this town was built upon

And I've been standing strong and steady all these years

Held together by the faithful gathered here

I've heard the words of deliverance and damnation

And the sweet sound of redemption and salvation

Entire congregations with their voices raised in song

While the angels in my rafters rejoice and sing along

I am the rock, I am stained glass and stone

The foundation that this town was built upon

And I've been standing strong and steady all these years

Held together by the faithful gathered here

And as long as there's a God above

And people still believe, my walls will never crumble

And I will always be

The rock, I am stained glass and stone

The foundation that this town was built upon

And I've been standing strong and steady all these years

Held together by the faithful gathered here

Outside Savannah, Spring of 1844

They drove the last nail in and opened up my doors
