My Rock And My Salvation (How Firm A Foundation)

from Time by the weak & the few

/

lyrics

Verse 1
How firm a foundation you saints of the Lord
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word
What more can He say than to you He has said
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled

Verse 2
Fear not, I am with you, O be not dismayed
For I am your God, and will still give you aid
I’ll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand

Chorus
My Rock and my salvation
On Your promises, I stand
And I shall not be shaken
My name’s engraved upon Your hands

Verse 3
When through the deep waters I call you to go
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow
For I will be with you, your troubles to bless
And sanctify to you your deepest distress

verse 4
When through fiery trials your pathway shall lie
My grace, all-sufficient, shall be your supply
The flame shall not hurt you, I only design
Your dross to consume, and your gold to refine

Chorus
My Rock and my salvation
On Your promises, I stand
And I shall not be shaken
My name’s engraved upon Your hands

Verse 5
The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose
I will not, I will not desert to his foes
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake
