OUR ROCK

"For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God? God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect."

2 Samuel 22:32, 33
King James Version

Rev. Vernon J. Charlesworth wrote a beautiful and inspiring hymn "A Shelter in the Time of Storm". I love these words in this hymn. I'm so glad they are true.

"The Lord's our rock, in Him we hide, A shelter in the time of storm; Secure whateveill betide, A shelter in the time of storm."

Rev. Edward Mote wrote one of my very favorite hymns "The Solid Rock". I'm so glad the words in this hymn are true.

"My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale, My anchor holds within the veil.
His oath, His covenant, His blood Support me in the whelming flood; When all around my soul gives way, He then is all my hope and stay.

When He shall come with trumpet sound, Oh, may I then in Him be found; Dressed in His righteousness alone, Faultless to stand before the throne.

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand; All other ground is sinking sand, All other ground is sinking sand."

Thank You, Jesus, for being our Rock of protection in a world that is filled with violence and hatred. I love You so much and look forward to the happy joyous day when I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face.
