Jesus Is a 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 then trusting him
and holding his hand.
My life is sinking deep
into quicksand!
So many nights, I've cried
myself to sleep.
I feel like I'm in a pit 100 ft. deep.
I cry unto you 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 solid place.
This solid place is Jesus...
my rock and foundation.
I've received his free 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 is what I bring.
He is my righteousness
and my everything!
He's always there when I've
needed someone to turn to.
He's here right now...
and is waiting for YOU!
