Upon This Rock

Matthew · Machine Rock

[Intro - distant answers] At Caesarea Philippi the question crossed the road: Whom do men say the Son of man is? John. Elias. Jeremias. One of the prophets. [Verse 1 - question brought near] Then every borrowed answer fell away. But whom say ye that I am? Simon Peter stepped into the silence: Thou art the Christ, The Son of the living God. [Refrain - answer and source] Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona. Flesh and blood did not reveal this; My Father which is in heaven Opened what no rumor could name. [Interlude - 2 bars] [Verse 2 - declaration] Thou art Peter. Upon this rock I will build My church. The gates of hell shall not prevail against it. [Breakdown - keys] The keys of the kingdom of heaven: Whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth Shall be bound in heaven. Whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth Shall be loosed in heaven. [Outro - charged silence] Then He charged the disciples: Tell no man that He was Jesus the Christ.
