The Rock That You Can Cling To

The rock you can cling to

Ill be your knight in shining armour
be beside you when you call
Sword gripped in my  hand to protect you
I'll catch you when you fall

I'll be your shelter, your fortress strong
on those blustery winter days.
Hide yourself inside my protective arms
here forever may you remain

I'll be the rock that you can cling to
when the waves come crashing in
Even though fear may overwhelm you
hold on tight, together we can win

I'll be your bed when you are alone
soft but firm and oh so warm
I'll be your comforter you can wrap up in
I'll keep you safe from the raging storm

I'll be the river flowing, oh so gently
floating your troubles out to sea
Climb aboard, sail on my  trusty ship
make my life complete and marry me.
