    ROCK OF SAFTEY

    Rock

    upon this rock i stand sliently

    peering at a tempestuous sea

    once tranquil

    now tense

    to whom do i look for to be rescued

    he alone is my defense

    never shall i be tense 

    when adversity strikes

    my soul takes flight

    even when my heart conspires

    against my mind

    in him  i find 

    a song of freedom 

    that i sing in tribute to his love everlasting

    and if he refuses to answer my plea

    i know it is not he

    but i who is being punished 

    deemed unworthy

    of salvation

     

    whom do  i trust alone

    when i cry who bends down low

    to hear my anguised plea

    pulling me from traps enemies

    have set for me

    yes there have been times

    i have been mocked and scorned

    by my very own

    yet he told me do be silent

    and stand upon this

    his rock of  safety

     

    and stand i shall

    for only he can overlook my transgressions

    and only he knows my heart

    a heart full of mercy and forgiveness

    but protected by a defense 

    that shall not ever be breached

    by betrayal

    upon this  rock i hail

    the voice of the beneficent one

    as it resounds through the wilderness

    of my aimless wanderings

    compelling me to be the man i am

    the man he has carefully created

    the man who has demostrated

    pride in the face of pestilence

    passion in the face of perversity

    proven am i worthy

    when surrounded by enemies

     

    as i stand upon this rock

    no one can touch me

    for this is my tower of safety

    standing alone i see the clouds part

    revealing my insignificance

    yet affirming his brilliance

    knowing it is my strength he rejoices in

    and my weaknesses he admonishes

    for he made  me as i am

    clothed  my soul with the splendor 

    of his fame and honor

    pardons the many diatribes i unleash

    warns me of the beast as it lurks

    in my presence

    and never has he demanded gifts

    never has he questioned my purpose

    no

    he reminds me constantly of my purspose

    to him 

    a purpose  i have yet to fulfill

    this quill

    in my hand

    these words from a simple man

    this heart rebuilt

    this soul free of grime and silt

    this spirit that flies

    this  warrior who refuses to die

    until i am called to rest

    by him

    and until then i will stand proudly

    shout praises to his magesty

    for who among you can truly touch me

    while i stand securely 

    upon this

    my fathers rock of safety
