The Anchor stays,
The Rock won't move;
When troubles rage,
The Cross reproves.

Hope is constant,
The Word does not lie;
The night will pass,
The Sun will shine again.

The JOY remains,
His Blood was spilled;
JESUS IS RISEN!
The Promise fulfilled!

The Spirit of God abides,
The heart that sees;
In God's grace through faith,
The Truth has set us free.

Forcing us to stop and pray;

WAIT ON THE LORD
Role of the Spirit
16 I will ask the Father, and He will give you another [a]Helper,
that He may be with you forever; 17 that is the Spirit of truth,
whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or
know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and
will be in you. 18 "I will not leave you as orphans;
I will come to you.

THE CROSS
Lead me to the place of abandon,
Where I must leave my self behind;
Bring me to the point of absolute surrender,
Where all I can see is Christ.
Bring me to the end of His life,
Where I must decide He died for me;
Bring me to the crux of spiritual obedience,
Where all I know is Christ and His resurrection glory!
Guide me in the Shepherd's Way,
Where I'm only faithful to soveriegn bounds;
Carry me willingly to Heaven's gate,
Where I'll lay aside these worldly crowns.
Thank You for this place of pain,
Where I must admit the Savior is mine;
Thank You God for Your eternal grace,
I'm forever saved by the blood of Christ.

The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God,
my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn
of my salvation, and my high tower. (Psalms 18:2)

====================
GOD IS MY ROCK
====================
All I have is faith,
Faith is all I have;
Faith that pleases God,
God is my Rock.
My Rock is Jesus,
Jesus is God's very Love;
Love that never changes,
Love for all the ages.
My only hope is God,
God is my only hope;
God is my only hope;
Hope that lives in Christ,
The Savior of the world.
The world is a big place,
Too big for my brain;
My faith is in its Maker,
The maker of heaven and earth.
All I need is faith, faith is all I need;
By faith I trust God knows my name,
And accepts me in His perfect grace.

But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved
us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with
Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated
us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages
he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us
in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this
is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works,
so that no one may boast.

BE STILL MY SOUL
BE STILL MY SOUL

If you're anything like me
you have questions
If you're anything like me
you may fear the answers
If you're anything like me
you love God
If you're anything like me
your heart is broken
Still
If you're anything like me
you have no clue without Christ
If you're anything like me
you are easily confused
If you're anything like me
you love Jesus more than life
If you're anything like me
you can't live without His love
Be still
If you're anything like me
you don't like not knowing
If you're anything like me
you have to stand alone
If you're anything like me
you love joy and peace
If you're anything like me
you don't laugh near enough
Still be still
Be still my desperate longing
Be still my soul in Christ alone
Be still my heart while we're apart
Soon we'll be where we belong
Be still my soul be still*
