The Higher Rock
Psalm 61:1-4
1 Hear my cry, O God; listen to my prayer.
2 From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
3 For you have been my refuge, a strong tower against the foe.
4 I long to dwell in your tent forever and take refuge in the shelter of your wings.
Psalm 62:1-2
1 My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him.
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.
Look at David's cry - when his heart is faint and he is sinking so low. His cry is lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Like us, David can not get to this Rock by himself - it's out of our reach. It's only thru God's power leading us that we can be set upon this Rock. This Rock is Christ. Those that are in Him are safe. By following God's lead we can be placed safely on this Rock - safe - higher than any trial - out of the reach of any trouble. Thru God's hand we can be safe.
Exodus 33:22 ... I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand ...

Lead Me to the Rock
Karen Holland
When my heart grows faint and the dark shadows fall;
sorrows abound and seem to sweep over all.
When rough, is the way to the goal;
there seems to be no rest for my soul.
Lead me to the Rock, the Rock that is higher than I.
Lead me to the Rock, the Rock that is higher than I.
A strong tower, a refuge for me, lift me high.
Under the shadow of Your wings let me abide.
He alone is my rock and my salvation.
He alone is my rest, I will not be shaken.
Lead me to the Rock, the Rock that is higher than I.
Lead me to the Rock, the Rock that is higher than I.

Hear our cry, O Lord; listen to our prayers. Let us trust in Christ alone; lead us to the Rock and under the shadow of Your wings help us abide.
