《Upon This Rock》是美國福音音樂組合Bill & Gloria Gaither演唱的基督教讚美詩，發行於不同專輯版本，包括《Israel Homecoming》及精選集《The Greatest Songs of Bill & Gloria Gaither》等。歌曲以《馬太福音》16:18中基督建立教會的經文為背景，結合傳統福音與現代敬拜風格，通過現場版等形式呈現，部分版本邀請Allison Durham Speer等藝人合作。
歌詞運用“磐石”與“流沙”的意象對比，以第一人稱神諭視角闡述教會根基的教義，強調信徒需以孩童般的信心辨識真理並捨棄世俗。副歌採用遞進式宣言結構，反覆申明教會將立於啟示的磐石之上，抵禦地獄權勢與時間考驗，最終構建屬靈國度的核心主題。音樂編配融合多樂器演奏，弦樂與人聲交織強化神聖氛圍。

歌曲歌詞
When others see with earthly eyes
Just what they want to see
You will see the things that never die
You will know and recognize
By simple child-like faith
The priceless truth that
Others will deny
When others say I'm just a man
Who likes to dream His dreams
When others call although miracle only myth
You'll listen for eternity
In moments as they pass
And you see with spirit eyes
What others miss
Upon this rock I'll build My kingdom
And on this rock forever and ever it shall stand
For the powers of Hell itself
Shall never more prevail against it
For Satan's thrones are built on sinking sand
Upon this rock I'll build My kingdom
And on this rock forever and ever it shall stand
On this rock of revelation
I'll build a strong and mighty nation
And it shall stand the storms of time
Upon this rock
If in a simple carpenter
You can see the Son of God
If you would chose to lose
When you could win
If you would give your life away
For nothing in return
Then you are where
This kingdom will begin
Upon this rock
I'll build My kingdom
And on this rock forever and ever it shall stand
For the powers of Hell itself
Shall never more prevail against it
You will see the Son of God
For Satan's thrones are built on sinking sand
Upon this rock I'll build My kingdom
And on this rock forever and ever it shall stand
On this rock of revelation
I'll build a strong and mighty nation
And it shall stand the storms of time
Upon this rock
I'll build My kingdom
And on this rock forever and ever
On this rock of revelation
I'll build a strong and mighty nation
And it shall stand the storms of time
Upon this rock
