Lyrics for sure thing
Lyrics for sure thing. In 2008, it was revealed that the church’s pastor and former bassist for the Planetshakers band, Michael Guglielmucci, had falsely claimed to be dying of cancer. For the June 2007 release of the album Saviour of the World, he composed “Healer,” a hymn of support for believers battling cancer. Over the course of two years, Guglielmucci frequently played the song while wearing an oxygen tube in his nose. During this time, people who thought his condition was serious gave him money.
LYRICS FOR SURE THING
Guglielmucci then claimed that his long-term addiction to pornography was the cause of his behavior. The song was also included for Hillsong’s 2008 album This Is Our God, however it was subsequently taken from the record. The press was informed by representatives of Guglielmucci’s affiliated churches that they had no knowledge of this circumstance.
VERSE:
Lead me to the Rock
‘Cause I need som-ething higher
Higher than the world could understand
Foolish as the cross
Humble as the price You paid
The wisdom of a king-dom made to last
CHORUS:
‘Cause I don’t wan-na build this life
On Babylon’s of bricks and pride
Sitting on a fault line bou-nd to quake
I’d rather be a bedrock fool
Who trusts in nothing less than You
When ev-ery other sure thing surely fails
VERSE 2:
(Lead me to the Rock
Lift me from this sinking sand
I’m so-rry for the junk I took for grace
Don’t let it take a fall
To bring me to my knees again
But if it’s what I need
I’ll take my pl-ace)
Lyrics for sure thing
CHORUS 2:
‘Cause I don’t wanna build this house
With rub-ble from the same old ground
Sitting on a fault line bound to quake
I’m banking on a Roman frame
The bedrock of an empty grave
When every other sure thing sure-ly fails
BRIDGE:
(Lord through it all
Through the wind and the storm
On this Rock I’ll stand
Empi-res may fold
Pillars fail people fall
But Your Word still stands
Age after age
Till the earth fades away
Still Your kingd-om stands
Name above names
Jesus I need Your grace
‘Cause the world’s gone mad)
Lyrics for sure thing
CHORUS:
‘Cause I don’t wanna build this life
On Bab-ylon’s of bricks and pride
Sitting on a fault line bound to quake
I’d rather be a bedrock fool
Who trusts in nothing less than You
Whe-n every other sure thing sure-ly fails
Summary
The general manager of Hillsong, George Aghajanian, said in an email to the church’s members that Guglielmucci’s suspended pastor was seeking professional assistance and that the news even shocked his own family. The Australian Christian Churches stripped Guglielmucci of all his qualifications while promising to reimburse or contribute to charity any money paid by listeners who were moved by the song.
