Oh, my Father, I’m weary. My heart is so sore,
And I want to collapse from the pressures of life.
With such weight on my heart, I can’t walk anymore.
My faint soul needs to rest and withdraw from the strife.
I must hide in a Rock that no foe can defy;
A true refuge must be Someone higher than I.
Oh, my Father, I’m hurting, for life
brings me pain.
Disappointments and sorrows have been
quite profuse.With the bruises and wounds that I’ve had to sustain,
I need something to shield me from further abuse.
I must hide in a Rock that no foe can defy;
A true refuge must be Someone higher than I.
Oh, my Father, I’m tested by trials
each day.
I face arrows and darts and sharp
spears by the score,And I long to escape, but I can’t find the way.
I need safety, protection, and shelter from war.
I must hide in a Rock that no foe can defy;
A true refuge must be Someone higher than I.
Oh, my Father, I’m tempted to heed
sin’s bold call.
Giving in seems so easy, but standing
is hard.When my will is so weak that it’s ready to fall,
Then I need Your support to encourage and guard.
I must hide in a Rock that no foe can defy;
A true refuge must be Someone higher than I.
The beauty of coming to know God in a
deeper way through an active relationship with Him is that we know exactly where
to find the Higher Rock that we desperately need. We know that we have a God
who loves us and who is completely worthy of our trust. Sometimes life doesn’t
give us a lot of places to turn to for help, but God is a constant and
dependable refuge. What a blessed and comforting kind of relationship to have –
knowing that we have an ever-available Friend who is so very much higher than
our weakness!
"From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I." Psalm 61:2 (NASB)
