Oh God you are my Rock!
When everything around is unsettling
when changes seem never ending
I can stand firmly on You.
You do not change or move
even when things are not smooth
I can remain confidently on You.
When strong storms of life abound
when it seems things won’t turn around
I can keep my trust in You.
When the downpour starts to pelter
and I have no other shelter
I can rest assuredly under You.
You provide that safe nook
That’s described in your Good Book
I can find protection under You.
When things are constantly shifting
when there’s scarcity of things uplifting
I can cling to your side, fully trusting You.
When the wind so strongly blows
that fear goes to my toes
I can peacefully draw closer to You.
Sometimes you seem so hard, oh Rock
Are you really listening as I knock?
Yet I can put my faith in You.
You are the real foundation
how I wish that every nation
would truly recognize You!
Oh Rock, sometimes you seem dead
though I know that’s not true in my head
I can fully rely on You.
As clouds blow swiftly by
or sun blazes from the sky
I can find respite in You.
Unmovable, eternal, unshakable,
firm, sturdy, and unbreakable
oh God, you are my Rock!
