The Rock on which I stand

The Rock on which I stand

Letting go of every drain,

I lay them down at Your feet,

Every weakness and every shame,

Never changes what you see.

 
I falter, I falter, I falter,

Before the Rock on which I stand.

 
I try to win this fight,

I confess,

weary, burdened,

I need Your rest.

 
I falter, I falter, I falter,

Before the Rock on which I stand.


When you are silent,

I'm needing you to speak.

When you called me across the water,

I wished I could walk through.


I will trust, I will trust, I will trust,

Before the Rock on which I stand.

 
Show me, lead me, take me,

Let all things be my life and breath.

You know all things and how it should be,

Even on the Cross, you overcame death.

 
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust,

Before the Rock on which I stand.


Mighty Warrior, in Your promises I abide,

I need you Lord by my side,

Ever now and ever more,

In You, I cry out for.

 
I will trust, I will trust, I will trust,

Before the Rock on which I stand.

 

 
I've decided to try some poetry writing for the first time. I thought it'll be interesting to write in another way other than just blogging. I also think that since Christmas is coming, it'll be nice to do a poem on my faith and walk in Christ. Happy holidays everybody! :)


 

Thank You

@zord189,

I've decided to try some poetry writing for the first time.

Very well done, Zord.

It is, perhaps surprisingly, quite daunting for most people to venture into poetry. Poetry, like all art forms, is a performance. And performance provokes judgement.

It is a fact of which we are all intuitively aware, although one which is rarely articulated. 'Standing out' makes you a target ... and red-striped zebras live short lives.

But it is precisely that willingness to 'suffer (or at least risk) the slings and arrows of life's outrageous fortune' that 'Moves the Minds of Men.' That commands salutation ... and salute.

Since everyone at SteemitBloggers, including myself, owes you a debt of gratitude, consider this an offer to return the favor. If ever you need a bit of advice on poetic composition, shoot me a DM.

I will leave you with a Christmas reading list (there is Science Behind the Art ... understanding it will make you a MUCH better poet):

It is so wonderful and moving when someone speaks their heart.

Well zord is branching out in to poetry now?! Great stuff man and can see the heart felt words mean a lot for your faith. Sounds like 2,000 others also agree! Awesome!

Ho Ho Ho! @zord189, one of your Steem friend wished you a Merry Christmas and asked me to give you a new badge!
