I live in Florida. Hurricanes are something we know well. When the news reporters show the ocean waves and winds as hurricanes approach land, the waves crash and beat against anything close to the ocean. In the graphic above, the large rock in the water is a great reminder of Christ as our Rock. When storms come and the water rages and splashes against the rock, the rock is firm, steady, and the rock still remains when the storm abates. When the storms of our life rage against us, Jesus is a firm and steady rock that holds us firm through the storm. He is the firm and secure foundation on which we stand as He leads us by the hand through ever storm we face. Jesus – who walked on water in the midst of a storm – He is our rock. Recently in church, Pastor Jonathan led us in singing Vertical Worship’s song, The Rock Won’t Move. Here are the lyrics and a link to YouTube where you can be reminded that God is the Rock in our lives that won’t move no matter what storms come in your life.
When the ground beneath my feet gives way
And I hear the sound of crashing waves
All my world is washing out to sea
I’m hidden safe in the God who never moves
Holding fast to the promise of the truth
That You are holding tighter still to meThe Rock won’t move and His word is strong
The Rock won’t move and His love can’t be undone
The Rock won’t move and His word is strong
The Rock won’t move and His love can’t be undone
The Rock of our SalvationMy hope is in the promise of Your blood
My support within the raging flood
Even in the tempest, I can sing
I’m hidden safe in the God who never moves
Holding fast to the promise of Your truthThat You are holding tighter still to meThe Rock won’t move and His word is strong
The Rock won’t move and His word is strongThe Rock won’t move and His love can’t be undone
The Rock won’t move and His word is strong
The Rock won’t move and His love can’t be undone
The Rock of our SalvationWoah, woah
Woah, the Rock of our salvationOn Christ the Solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
The Rock won’t move, the Rock won’t move
When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging graceThe Rock won’t move, the Rock won’t moveThe Rock won’t move and His word is strong
The Rock won’t move and His love can’t be undone
The Rock won’t move and His word is strong
The Rock won’t move and His love can’t be undoneThe Rock of our SalvationLead me to the RockThe Rock that is higher
That is greater
The Rock of our Salvation
Lead me to the Rock
The Rock that is Stronger
That is Stronger
The Rock that is Jesus
The Rock that is Jesus
He will never move
