The Rock I Stand On is a twelve-song gospel CD by Larry Sparks, released by Rebel in 1994 (REB-CD 1710) and recorded in 1993 at River Tracks Recording Studio in Louisa, Kentucky. Sparks plays guitar and is the only vocalist credited; Carl Breggren plays mandolin, Barry Crabtree banjo and Jeff Brown bass.
