standing on the rock

my cup was empty, now it overflows, the sky was grey but now my garden grows, my soul's on fire and my heart's aflame, i've got more blessings than a man can claim, standing on the rock. life is getting better every day, sweet compassion's coming over me, gonna keep on walking in the safety zone, till that old black carriage come and take me home, standing on the rock. the flood did rise but my feet stayed dry, the sun stayed with me when the tide was high, then i went to the river and washed my soul, i asked my forgiver to make me whole, standing on the rock.
