Lyrics: English Translation:
   
We'll build on this rock a tower so high
Let your voice surround me
Light my life to carry on
We'll build on this rock
 
   
Chorus:  
Críosta ó cumhdaigh mé Christ, cover me
Críosta ó coimhéad mé Christ, guard me
Críosta ó coinnigh mé Christ, keep me
Críosta an Rí Christ the King
Críosta ó tarrtáil mé Christ, deliver me
Críosta ó treorái mé Christ, guide me
Críosta ó teagasc mé Christ, teach me
Críosta an Rí Christ the King
   
A banner of your peace
A prayer to be free
Let your love surround me
Light my heart to carry on
 
   
(Chorus)  
   
We'll build on this rock a fountain of gold  
   
(Chorus 2x)
