My Lord steadies me like a solid rock
From the horizon, His devotion walks
As soon as dark clouds form, He stands tall
Leaning on Him in moments, large or small
The Enemy menaces nearby, keep me safe
Free me from wickedness, that’s never late
You bring light to a world so all can see
Grasping my hand, offering rescue to me
You brought me forth in awesome birth
Saving me when I stumble on the turf
As my strength wavers, you remain true
Never tiring of me, needing to lean on you
The text is inspired by words from Psalm 71. From Verse 4: “Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and the cruel.”
