Ordinary Time // Week 16 // Sept. 8-14
NO ROCK LIKE OUR GOD
There is no Holy One like the LORD, no one besides you
There is no Rock like our God, no Rock like our God
Ok, life has its ways of tossing me about, and I’ma shoot straight ‘bout my faith and my doubt
Some days, wooo! I’m lounging on a cloud, cumulus, and I trust, ‘cuz the sun is out
Got faith, and it’s easy, winds lazy, gentle, and breezy
Lemonade stand, lemon, lemon squeezy, Kraft Mac, easy, breezy, squeezy, cheezy
But some days, whoa, the clouds turn gray, and the wind gonna blow my faith away
And the sugar run low, just lemons for days, and my words don’t flow, and my songs of praise
Shrivel up, turn to dust on my tongue, tossed by the storm, don’t trust that the sun
Gonna shine. Is it gonna shine?
There is no Holy One like the LORD, no one besides you
There is no Rock like our God, no Rock like our God
The rains come down, and the streams rise, the winds blow, and beat at the sides
Of the house, but it’s built by the wise man, standing on the rock till clear skies
And red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet—like a saltarello—leap across the sky, and
Dance to the mellow cello, the fellow on telenovela, every time returns, Renaissance ritornello
A real Donatello, carved in the rock, trust in the Lord, tick-tock of a clock
Pendulum gonna come back, ready or not, ready, ready, and steady, never start, never stop
Never change, never fail, never falter though the water and the winds prevail
They gonna blow, and gust, but we know we have a Rock to trust
Trust in the Lord forever, for in the Lord God you have an everlasting rock,
Ever, everlasting rock
There is no Holy One like the LORD, no one besides you
There is no Rock like our God, no Rock like our God
