Rock

Rock

Rock , open up , let me hide , I'm on the run
The trees keep dancing to no music
And the winds keep the whistle on
Hide me oh thou rock
From the cloudy storm

The animals here bleat
And the birds wink
The paths are narrow paving no way
Yet, here I knock, open thou  to my rescue
Let ur door stand ajar for me
The wind is saturated, the rain threatens
Please hide me in the rock

I labour, it is nothing without your favour
I build, please your foundation is needed
 Where from here do I head to?
Which of these laid down paths is mine?
A hard nut is soft for you to crack
Hide me in thee lest I derail 

Under your shield, I humble my head
I go down on knees , bring me up on feet
You are my rock, pls give me a treat
Rock, open up, I'm coming in

You are my rock, oh Lord
You are my shelter in the time of storm
This world is full of wilderness
In it some humans are the beasts
Yet, I know, your loved ones will always win
For d beasts not to strangle our mission
Shield us! Hide us!
For we seek refuge from nothing else

But in thee
Only in thee
Thou greatest God

Rock of ages, cleft for me 
Let me hide myself in thee
.............my motivating hymn
