EMPIRES FALL, BUT YOU'RE STILL STANDING,
You were there from the beginning
And You'll be there when this life on earth is done
Kings and kingdoms will be shaken, shooting stars, each one is fading
Jesus You're still shining brighter than the sun
You are higher, You are higher than all rulers, than all powers
Rock of ages You're the hope that remains
The beginning and the ending, everlasting, never ending
Jesus we're held in Your hands
You're the treasure that's worth seeking, in Your presence there is healing
Jesus when You speak You set our hearts aflame
So be the first one that we run to, be the rock that we hold on to
Turn our hearts to seek Your kingdom and Your fame
You are the fortress that will not be shaken, You are the strength of our hearts
You are our rock, You're the hope of this nation, and we will trust in You God
