There is a rock
and there is a power,
a God who is there,
who is not silent,
to whom we can pray in secret,
who hears in secret.
The lives of His saints
are hidden with Christ,
who will one day
make it manifest,
that His glory may be revealed
so all flesh shall see it together!
There is a rock,
an Archimedean point
whereon to stand
to move the Earth!
There is a refuge
from the storms of life,
the bitterness of failure
and broken dreams!
Christ, who makes the waters sweet!
His is the power to bear us up,
to soften and change our heart:
hard where it should be soft,
soft where it should be hard,
a whole person
in this broken world!
