Verse
Christ is my firm foundation, the rock on which I stand
When everything around me is shaken, I've never been more glad
That I put my faith in Jesus, 'cause He's never let me down
He's faithful through generations, so why would He fail now

Pre-chorus
He won't, He won't

Verse
I've still got joy in chaos, I've got peace that makes no sense
So I won't be going under, I'm not held by my own strength
'Cause I've built my life on Jesus and He's never let me down
He's faithful in every season, so why would He fail now

Chorus
He won't, He won't
He won't fail, He won't fail
