ROCK

He is my Rock in whom I can confide,

Ensconced within the warmth of its defile,

Safe from the storm and Satan's foul device.

I build on Him according to design:

Where could I build except on Jesus Christ?

God took me up and set me on these Heights,

Transformed my gait: I now have feet like hinds’!

But, no mere base or timeless place to hide,

Out of itself the smitten Rock provides

Abundant water imbuing me with life,

Abundant oil enduing me with light,

Abundant honey to sate my appetite.
