Anyone Who Hears These Words

Anyone who hears these words of mine and does them

Shall be likened to a prudent man

Who built his house upon the rock

And the rain descended and the rivers came

And the winds blew

and they beat against that house

And it did not fall

for it was founded on the rock.

Lord

I thank You that I have the rock

Your wise words

That reveal the Father’s will to me.

Put in me a heart that would respond

And a will to choose the narrow way.

Make me prudent

Lord

for the building of Your house

And I would not fall

for I’d be founded on the rock.
