Solid Rock

A while ago I had the pleasure of watching The Second Chance starring Michael W Smith. I was so capitvated by the movie right from the start. I felt each emotion of the actors as each scene went by, I wanted to get in there and help. So I got to thinking about what else I could be doing here in my own life. The movie stirred alot within my heart but what it also did was remind me of the solid rock on which I stand. I was in sinking sand but I was pulled up by the Lord. I was rescued. Immediately I thought of this piece that I wrote just over a year ago. I know The Second Chance is an older movie but it's worth the watch over and over. Thus, here is "The Rock". It's short and sweet however the point is there, The Lord is My Rock! The picture shown above was my rock family I made when I was just 8 years old. My family and I attended a church camp. I learned then that the Lord is our foundation. My mom kept it all these years. It now sits on my dresser as a daily reminder of this promise.

The Rock

My house is built upon the strongest rock around

Held firmly in the ground

When pressure mounts and comes closing in

I dare not care at all

For I stand upon a rock solid and round

It lifts me to new heights

In which I can only find delight

No matter where I stand 

It protects me from sinking in the sand

The rock is smooth and round

if I fall to the ground

I reach up and grab hold of the Mighty Hand

Reaching down from above

Stretched out from the one I love

He lifts me back up on the rock

For as long as my house is built upon the rock

And under the shelter of His hand

I feel so safe and grand.

Mathew 7:24-25Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall because it had its foundation on the rock.
