Jesus… My Solid Rock

My soul is broken… my body’s achin’.

At times… I feel so utterly forsaken.

I’ve tried to serve God the best I could.

So many of his ways,

 I’ve never understood/

Rather than trusting him

 and holding his hand;

My life is  sinking

 Into quicksand.

So many nights, I’ve cried

 myself to sleep.

I feel like I’m in a pit 100 feet deep.

I cried unto the Lord to pull me out.

From you …Oh Lord…

 I don’t want to be without!

By your tender mercy and unfailing grace.

I trust you to put my

 life on a sold place.

                             This solid place is Jesus…

 my rock and foundation.

I’ve received his wonderful gift of salvation.

He put my feet on a rock to stay.

And his word guides me

 each and every day.

A song of  thanksgiving to him I now bring.

He alone is my righteousness and everything.

He’s always there when I’ve needed

 someone to turn to.

He’s here right now...and is waiting for you!
