UPON SOLID ROCK <\/p>\n

When you are at your most weakest,
\nAnd feel that you just can’t cope,
\nOne thing you ought to remember,
\nWith the Lord there is always hope.<\/p>\n

No challenge is too big for Jesus,
\nHis shoulders can bear any load,
\nHe will lighten your grievous burden,
\nAnd smooth out the most rugged road.<\/p>\n

He has been down that way before you,
\nAnd knows what dangers may lie ahead,
\nHe will clear a path thru the darkness,
\nWhere even Angels may fear to tread.<\/p>\n

Yes, our Savior is just that wonderful,
\nHe cares so much more than you think,
\nEven tho the tempest roars around you,
\nNot one foot will ever slip or sink.<\/p>\n

He will lift you up out of the mire,
\nAnd set you firmly upon His solid rock,
\nHis Angels will always guard over you,
\nSo in His peace you can safely walk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
