“Other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” 1 Cor. 3:11
“When darkness veils His lovely face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil. On Christ the solid Rock I stand; all other ground is sinking sand…” – Edward Mote, 1834 / William B. Bradbury, 1863
****************
I sometimes tremble so faint of heart,
Though on the solid Rock I stand;
And while the tempest rages wild around me,
I’m held secure in the Father’s hand.
Though on the Rock, I sometimes tremble,
As the storm clouds of life are all I can see,
He says, “Hold fast to the Rock of Ages…”
And He NEVER trembles under me!
He’s always with me,
Come rain, or shine;
In the cleft of the rock,
He comforts me.
He covers me there,
With His mighty hand,
And reminds me,
I’ve been set free!
Though I shudder and shake,
And shiver from fear…
I’m held in the palm of His hand.
I’m ever secure, when within HIS grasp…
As on the Rock of Ages, I stand!
