To Stand Upon The Rock
These days grow evermore darker
As evil flourishes in our midst
 Corrupting and consuming all before it
It is hard to stand against it
Hard-pressed on all sides by the shadows
Which lurk all about us
 Yet, I choose to stand upon THE ROCK
On those darkened nights
When my mind races frantically
 Vainly trying to gather itself
Dark thoughts cling tightly as the hours drift slowly by
Taking me deeper into those tear-streaked heights
Dim thoughts within the void of the night
Yet, I choose to stand upon THE ROCK
Day builds upon day
Months roll into years
As infirmities plague my flesh
Causing bone and sinew to rebel
Each moment its own version of hell
This infernal struggle never seems to end
Yet, I choose to stand upon THE ROCK
Knowing that I am but a walking sin-soaked calamity
Wishing I was not steeped in this world’s insanity
But a sinner redeemed am I
HIS life for mine
So that I may never feel the sting of time
Ever so desperately I seek HIS face
 I choose to stand upon THE ROCK
FOREVER and ALWAYS!!!
