She sits atop the rock. Still, calm,
Feeling the warmth of it beneath her.
Just the rock – quiet, immovable,
Keeping her safe, confident in her position.
Free to survey all around.
Jesus, you are my rock and my fortress
In trusting you I find my quiet, my confidence, my strength, my peace.
This is what the Sovereign Lord, the Holy One of Israel, says: In repentance and rest is your
salvation, in quietness and trust is your strength. Isaiah 30:15 (NIV)
