My Rock ~

My Rock never leaves me,
 forsake me He does not
 my Rock is strong and sturdy
 each time He is sought.

My Rock forever comforts,
 protects and provides
 my Rock is always present
 from me He never hides.

My Rock is my strength,
 the power of my might
 my Rock is my safe haven
 my refuge and my light.

My Rock has a name,
 to which I call upon
 my Rock is the Lord Jesus
 and it’s to Him, I cling on!

~~~~~~~~~~

Psalm 18:2
  King James Version

“The LORD is my rock and my fortress
  and my deliverer; My God, my strength,
  in whom I will trust; My shield
  and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”

The Joy of Knowing Jesus ~

There's nothing quite like,
the joy of knowing Jesus
how in every circumstance
He is always with us.

No matter the situation,
Jesus is always there
our happiness is in knowing
our burdens He will bear.

In times of want and need,
whatever be our condition
our gladness is in knowing
He'll supply each provision.

When feeling overwhelmed,
by so many troubling things
our peace comes from knowing
the joy ~ Jesus brings!

and peace in believing, that ye may abound
in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost."
