Graham Kendrick - Living On A Landslide Lyrics

Living On A Landslide presents Christian witness as an urgent concern rather than a casual preference. The speaker longs for another person to know the One he has learned to love and to draw near to the Rock on which he stands. Images of rain, insecurity, alarming headlines, and unstable ground contrast a well-ordered outward life with the need for a dependable spiritual foundation. The warning remains personal and compassionate, shaped by concern for someone whose confidence may not survive life’s pressures.

The central image closely echoes Jesus’ teaching about houses built on rock and sand: storms reveal whether a foundation can hold. The song also treats the Rock as a place of safety and steadiness, an idea found throughout the Psalms. Its repeated landslide refrain gives weight to the danger, while the wish that another person would come nearer to the Rock keeps hope within the warning. The result is a sober appeal to place lasting trust in Christ before apparent security slips away.
