Rock of Ages


The strong repeating waves beat hard against my soul.
But I know, O Lord,
that You are in complete control!
I hide myself in You
as You keep me safe in the cleft of Your Rock.
I seek Your Kingdom first
to trust and honor You
for You supply my every need.
I feel so weak and small in this world of uncertainties
but You promised to use me by Your grace
for Your specific purposes.
Therefore, I do not compare myself to others
or worry about what they think of me
or fret about what I’m to do.
For I ask You, Lord, to search my heart
to test and try me
and show me what I need to change
so You can mold and shape me to reflect you fully
as I submit my will to You.
And even if I drift away and feel alone and scared
You will never leave my side
and will carry me back within Your arms
for in You I will always hide.
