Rock as Ground

[Intro] Soft rain on a window, the city hums outside I breathe in the quiet, let the breath decide [Verse 1] I used to chase the storm, a drumbeat in my chest But rock is a riverbed where I lay my restless, wandering rest Cliffs held my courage, rivers wrote my name in light In the shelter of your glow, I find a compass through the night [Chorus] Rock, be the ground beneath my feet Faith, the quiet hand that keeps me from the edge of sleep Shelter in the storm, your glow slows the rain Here I stand, a pilgrim with a steady, listening brain [Verse 2] Footsteps echo on the canyon walls of doubt and fear Yet every echo thins when your mercy draws near A lantern on the shoreline, where the restless waters blend I lay down my questions, and your truth becomes my friend [Pre-Chorus] In this crowded chorus, I hear a single, steady tone Then I remember I am not alone, I am known [Chorus] Rock, be the ground beneath my feet Faith, the quiet hand that keeps me from the edge of sleep Shelter in the storm, your glow slows the rain Here I stand, a pilgrim with a steady, listening brain [Bridge] If the skies roar or the doubts rise like a tide I’ll anchor to the bedrock of you by my side A living core, a compass that won’t bend or break You steady the breath I’m trying to take [Chorus] Rock, be the ground beneath my feet Faith, the quiet hand that keeps me from the edge of sleep Shelter in the storm, your glow slows the rain Here I stand, a pilgrim with a steady, listening brain [Outro] Let the winds wane, let the bells fall soft and slow I am anchored in a light that only faith can grow Rock and river, guide me home where I belong A quiet prayer in the noise, a steadfast heart grows strong
