Like a Rock in the Billows
Barney Elliott Warren (1900) • English
Primary Scripture: Psalm 27:5
Verse 1
Like a rock in the billows I would stable be, Till the storm is overpast; Then I long to harbor, Lord, with Thee, In my heav’nly home at last.
Chorus
If I trust in Jesus, and obey His word, If I lean upon His breast; If I keep low down at His feet, I know He will give me peace and rest.
Verse 2
Like a rock in the billows I would never yield To the angry tossing wave; I would cling to Christ, my sun and shield, For His pow’r alone can save.
Chorus
If I trust in Jesus, and obey His word, If I lean upon His breast; If I keep low down at His feet, I know He will give me peace and rest.
Verse 3
Like a rock in the billows of a boiling sea, When its waters leap and foam, I would rest secure, my Lord, in Thee, Till the trumpet calls me home.
Chorus
If I trust in Jesus, and obey His word, If I lean upon His breast; If I keep low down at His feet, I know He will give me peace and rest.
Verse 4
Like a rock in the billows I would fearless stand, And defy the threat’ning blast; For the Savior holds me by the hand, Till the raging storm is past.
Chorus
If I trust in Jesus, and obey His word, If I lean upon His breast; If I keep low down at His feet, I know He will give me peace and rest.
