A rock is sure and steady
It is solid with a foundation to trust;
A firmness that cannot be moved
As it forms the earth’s crust.
The formation of rocks are subjected to heat
Along with much pressure too,
To create a physical and chemical change
As they change in form and made new.
All mountains and cliffs are formed from rock
And stand the tallest they can be;
Unmoved and cannot be shaken
A wondrous formation to see.
When something is built on the rock
It’s unswayed and cemented indeed,
And irrespective of the winds and waves
No movement it will see.
Whoever comes to Jesus
To hear His sayings too,
Will progressively bear much fruit
When they listen and they do.
When one is obedient
It’s like building a house on the rock,
And although the floods rise with vehement winds
They cannot destroy when they knock.
But when one listens and chooses to ignore
It’s like building on the sand…
Without a sure and steady foundation
With ruins too great to understand.
A rock is a firm foundation
And when we dig deep to build,
There’s a steadfastness with a solid hope
Without any fear or guilt.
Jesus is a rock and strong fortress
And whoever grasps HIs words indeed,
Will form a solid base with an unshakeable faith
When they’re justified and redeemed.

“Whoever comes to Me, and hears My sayings and does them, I will show you whom he is like; He is like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. And when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently against that house, and could not shake it, for it was founded on the rock. But he who heard and did nothing is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream beat vehemently and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.” Luke 6:47-49
