Lyrics

[verse]
O the church is like a vessel
that’s been launched into the deep.
Sometimes it hurts just like the devil
waves are crashing at our feet.
Our grip is tightened on the helm.
though the winds may blow.
The church will not be overwhelmed
Because we’re steady as she goes.
[chorus]
O yes we’re steady (on the rock of ages we will not be moved)
We’re standing firm (on holy pages. We will never turn)
We’re safe secure (inside the ark the door is nearly closed)
The Bride of Christ is sure & ready.
And We’re as steady as she goes.
[verse]
Well In the upper room they gathered
to pray fire from the sky.
Holy tongues became the chatter
for the people standing by.
Peter said don’t get it twisted
We’re not drunk as you suppose.
It’s Holy Ghost Peter insisted.
& we’re steady as She goes!
[chorus]
O yes we’re steady (on the rock of ages we will not be moved)
We’re standing firm (on holy pages. We will never turn)
We’re safe secure (inside the ark the door is nearly closed)
The Bride of Christ is sure & ready.
And We’re as steady as she goes.
[straight into chorus]
[chorus-decrescendo to whisper harmonies]
O yes we’re steady (on the rock of ages we will not be moved)
We’re standing firm (on holy pages. We will never turn)
[crescendo to climactic vocal]
We’re safe secure (inside the ark the door is nearly closed)
The Bride of Christ is sure & ready.
And We’re as steady as she goes.
[outro]
We’re safe secure (inside the ark the door is nearly closed)
The Bride of Christ is sure & ready.
And We’re as steady as she goes.
