He turned the rock
He turned the rock
He turned the rock into living water
He turned the rock
He turned the rock
He turned the rock into living water
He turned the rock
He turned the rock
He turned the rock into living water
He turned the rock
He turned the rock
He turned the rock ohhhh
When Israel went out of Egypt
The house of Jacob from a stranger's land
Judah was his sanctuary
Israel his dominion
Oh the sea saw it and fled
And Jordan was driven back
And the mountains skipped like rams
Oh and the little hills like lambs
What saw thee oh thou sea
What saw thee that thou fled
What saw thee oh thou Jordan yeah
That thou was driven back
What saw thee oh thou mountain
That thou skipped like rams
Oh what saw thee oh thou hills
Thou little hills that skipped like lamb
Tremble the earth at the presence
The presence of the Lord
And the God, the God of Jacob
Tremble all the Earth
He turned the rock
He turned the rock
He turned the rock into living water
He turned the rock
He turned the rock
He turned the rock into a flowing fountain
Ohhh what saw thee oh thou sea
What saw thee oh thou Jordan
Ohhh what saw thee oh thou hills
What saw thee oh thou mountain
He turned the rock
He turned the rock
He turned the rock
He turned the rock
He turned the rock
He turned the rock
He turned the rock
He turned the rock
He turned the rock
Turned the rock
He turned the rock that was my heart
He turned the rock that was my heart
That was my heart
That was my heart
Ohhhh...
He turned the rock that was my heart
That was my heart
Ohhhh my heart
Was my heart
