Prayer to God, Our Rock

A Found Poem based on Several Psalms

From the ends of the earth, I call to you…
I call to you as my heart grows faint;

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I…
For who is God besides the Lord” And who is the Rock except our God?

You led me through the vast and dreadful desert of my life,
In those thirsty and waterless places You brought water out of a hard rock
You opened the rock and water gushed out; like a river ; It flowed in my desert…
With honey from the rock, You satisfy me…
I drank from the miraculous rock that traveled with me, and that rock was Christ…


Lead me to the rock that is higher than I…

You lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire;
You set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand…

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I…

In the day of trouble You will keep me safe in Your dwelling;
You will hide me in the shelter of Your tabernacle and set me high upon a rock!

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I…

The eternal God is my hiding place, You carry me in Your arms
Put me in the cleft of the rock and cover me with Your hand
I will trust in the Lord, for the Lord, the Lord is the Rock eternal.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;
He is my fortress and I will never be shaken.

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I…

You would say to me:

My name is the Lord Almighty, and I have hidden you safely within My hand. I have called you by name, and you are mine. I set all the stars in place and established the earth Is there any God besides me? No there is no other Rock;

Lead me to the rock that is higher than I…

The Lord lives! Praise be to My Rock! Exalted be God my Savior
Come let us sing for joy to the Lord;
Let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
