The Rock

Today I am leaning on THE ROCK and rejoicing with people who bring others to Him. I heard a pastor say once that The Rock is softest place to fall. I know and have felt the devestation of loss and the fear of losing it all but one has remained constant and unwavering in my life and that is Christ, The Rock!

I love that old hymn - southern gospel song I Go to the Rock. (the lyrics will be posted below)
It reminds me that HE will always listen.
It reminds me that HE alone is my foundation.
It reminds me that HE will never leave me!
It reminds me that HE is a refuge, a shelter, & a friend!
It reminds me that when I stand on HIM I will not sink.
I will always have a place to go....
                           AND
It reminds me when I feel rejected SO WAS HE. He was the Stone the Builders rejected!
I Go To The Rock by Aaron Jeoffrey 
I go to the Rock, I go to the Rock

I go to the Rock, I go to the Rock

I know, I know He's able



Where do I go

When there's no body else to turn to

Who do I talk to

When no one wants to listen

Who do I lean on

When there's no foundation stable

I go to the Rock I know He's able

I go to the Rock



CHORUS

I go to the Rock of my Salvation

I go to the Stone that the builders rejected

I run to the mountain and the mountain stands by me

When the earth all around me is sinking sand

On Christ, the solid rock I stand

When I need a shelter, When I need a friend,

I go to the Rock



Where do I hide

When the storms of life are threatening

Where do I run to

When the winds of sorrow blow

Is there a refuge (a refuge) in the time of tribulation

Cause I go to the Rock

I know (I know) He's able.



CHORUS



When the earth all around is a-sinking sand

On Christ, the solid rock I stand

When I need a shelter, When I need a friend,

When the earth all around is sinking sand

On Christ the solid rock I stand

When I need a shelter, When I need a friend

I go to the Rock



I go to the.. I go to the Rock

I go to the Rock. I go to the Rock

I go to the Rock


Where are you running today? Where have you decided to fall? Are you sinking? Are the winds blowing you right off your feet? GO TO THE ROCK!

Abiding Still,
Chel
