Standing on the Rock

I'm terribly sorry that it's taken me so long to post on here. Things have been extremely busy and, at times, I've totally forgotten about it. Here's a poem I wrote several months ago.


Standing On The Rock

Though persecution comes
I stand strong.
Regardless of the duration –
Be it short or long.
I will not be moved
Because I am standing on the Rock.
This Rock is my foundation –
He absorbs all the shock.

When the waters flood around
And all my possessions are swept to sea,
When my enemies attack
And try to conquer me,
I will not be shaken
Because I am standing on the Rock.
This Rock will never leave me –
He’ll be there right round the clock.

Sickness may come and discourage me.
I may get the down-and-outs.
Friends may turn their backs on me
And my mind may be filled with doubts.
Yet, I will not remain defeated
Because I’m standing on the Rock.
And I’ll be there at the End
When our ship comes in to dock!!
