Verse 1 (Lead solo, organ + light percussion) Every voice tells me I won’t survive The city keeps screaming, I’m barely alive So worn down by the weight of this day How do I find solace when the world’s ablaze? Chorus (Call and Response, Lead + Choir) Lead: But You are the whisper above the crowd Choir: Above the crowd, above the crowd Lead: The quiet calm when the world’s too loud Choir: When the world’s too loud, when the world’s too loud Lead: My peace, my stillness, my hope, my love Choir: My peace, my hope, my love, my Lord Lead: You alone are the rock I trust Choir (building): The rock I trust, the rock I trust! Verse 2 (Lead solo, light organ + handclaps start) I used to tremble at every sound But You remind me I’m safe and found The world can crumble, but I won’t fall Your peace within me is stronger than all Chorus (Call and Response, fuller band + choir swelling) Lead: But You are the whisper above the crowd Choir: Above the crowd, above the crowd Lead: The quiet calm when the world’s too loud Choir: When the world’s too loud, when the world’s too loud Lead: My peace, my stillness, my hope, my love Choir: My peace, my hope, my love, my Lord Lead: You alone are the rock I trust Choir (building): The rock I trust, the rock I trust! Bridge (Call and Response, choir takes over, percussion builds) Lead: Even if the night won’t end Choir: The night won’t end, the night won’t end Lead: Even if the skies won’t mend Choir: The skies won’t mend, the skies won’t mend Lead: Still I’ll stand and lift my voice Choir: I’ll lift my voice, I’ll lift my voice Lead: In Your peace, I will rejoice Choir (soaring): I will rejoice, I will rejoice! (Choir vamps here, repeating “I will rejoice, I will rejoice,” while Lead ad-libs: “When the storm is raging, I will rejoice! / In the midnight hour, I will rejoice!”) ⸻ Final Chorus (Full band + choir, triumphant) Lead: But You are the whisper above the crowd Choir: Above the crowd, above the crowd Lead: The quiet calm when the world’s too loud Choir: When the world’s too loud, when the world’s too loud Lead: My peace, my stillness, my hope, my love Choir: My peace, my hope, my love, my Lord Lead: You alone are the rock I trust Choir (repeating, vamp to close): The rock I trust, the rock I trust! Jesus is the rock I trust!
