My Rock

Written by Allison Gardner - Heartland Church of Fort Wayne

Depths of despair
Try to swallow me whole
Leading me down where I
Don’t want to go

Sickness, pain, death
Hearts filled with anger
Pulling so strong
A very real danger

It seems I’m alone
Darkness closing inside
The very breath I need 
Only He can supply

So lead me to the Rock
See it rise above the tide
He will never leave me
He will always be my guide

Even as waves
Rush over me still
I will stand on the Rock 
My Hope in His will

Powerful and unwavering 
Majestic and strong
My Rock rises above
All that seems wrong

He’s steady, unchanging
Firmly planted and secure
In Him will I stand
And through Him, endure 

“From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I” (Psalm 61:2 NIV).

Father, from the depths of our souls, we cry out to You. Thank you that You always hear, and You make a way for us.  Be the solid Rock on which we stake our claims.  Let it be so!
