Verse 1
I became rock on the third day
When God called earth to stand
He pressed me in the dusty hill
And shaped me by His hand

To praise him as the one true God
And declare his steadfast might
But now I watch the first man fall
Forgo his priestly right

Pre-chorus
But Here I lie, made to cry,
“Oh mankind, Lift up your eyes”

Verse 2
I am the rock that watches souls
Ne’re raise their voice in praise
To their longstanding Lord and king
Whose wrath endures their ways

Yet I so deeply yearn to shout His name
In a mighty joyful noise
With dust, and trees, and mountain tops
So our cries may rejoice

Pre-chorus
But Here I lie, made to cry,
“Oh mankind, Lift up your eyes”

Chorus
Beyond the treetops, beyond the skies 
Beyond the heavens, yet by your side
Made in His image, to sing as one
All people, nations, tribes, and tongues 
Lift up your voices now to Father, Spirit, Son

Verse 3
I am the stone once hewn and rolled
To close my narrow door
Where lay the only hope of man
Now stilled upon my floor

The rocks and hills and trees fell still
The heavens watched on high
The one who spoke and shaped them all
Was now cast down to die

Pre-chorus
But Here I lie, made to cry,
“Oh mankind, Lift up your eyes”

Verse 4 [grand-victoriously]
I am the rock that rolled away
When death was overthrown
For Christ descended into hell
To make his power known

Now My mouth declares His mighty work
As He steps out’f the grave 
For this empty tomb declares 
The risen Christ he saves

Bridge [continue in victory]
As women wonder where he went 
From deaths deep dungeon Christ ascent
men run their race, their backs now bent
The God-man raised, His blood now spent

And all will know the price He paid
To send His son into the grave 
Then by His Spirit the Christ was raised
And now from all that He has made

with all the rocks and all the trees,  and all the skies and all the seas
With all the birds and all the beasts,  
Calling all men from west to east

Pre-chorus
Here we stand, made to sing
“holy holy holy, is our God and King”

Chorus 
Beyond the treetops, beyond the skies
Beyond the heavens, yet by your side
Made in His image, to sing as one
All people, nations, tribes, and tongues 
Lift up your voices now to Father, Spirit, Son

Verse 5 [reflective]
See now the Chief of cornerstones
Stands firm forever true
Now every temple rock a soul
And He now dwells in you

For you, Oh man, are His delight
An image of His own
Yet I, a rock, will cry aloud
To point his people home.

Pre-chorus [quiet]
But Here I lie, made to cry,
“Oh mankind, Lift up your eyes”
“Oh mankind, Lift up your eyes”
