STAND LIKE A ROCK <\/p>\n

You’ve got to stand like a rock,
\nWhen adverse winds blow so hard,
\nSwim against the rough current,
\nKeep on stroking one more yard.<\/p>\n

Though people will put you down,
\nIt should be of no real concern,
\nFor should they keep resisting,
\nSomeday they will surely burn.<\/p>\n

So just ignore their mean taunts,
\nStay focused on the task at hand,
\nBe faithful to preach God’s Word,
\nTill you’re in His Wondrous Land.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
