His Love Stirs Me – Cento #Poetry #Inspirational #FMFParty

Rock of Ages
No one takes your life
Yet You died that I might live

I will not forget your love for me
And yet my heart forever is wandering

There are times I feel I walk alone, in shadows of my doubt,
There are times I fear I can’t go on, and strength is running out

Jesus be my guide, hold me to Your side

Rock of Ages
You have paid the price
You were cleft to cover me

There, upon my knees, His strength He freely gives to me,
I stand by His power

Nothing will I fear as long as You are near

You are my firm foundation
The rock on which I stand.

You’re moving mountains that I don’t even see
You’ve answered my prayer before I even speak

His love is everlasting, and His mercy never fails,
I’ll follow in the path of the Man with the nail scars in His hands

Rock of Ages by Augustus Montague Toplady

Thy Word by Amy Grant

The Man With the Nail Scars by David Meece

Still by Hillary Scott & The Scott Family
