Steadfast as a Stone

Lord give me courage to rest in You

Bring back the calm assurance I once knew

Peace that passes understanding too

Make me steadfast as a stone.

Lord give me patience to persevere

A will to wait and a vision clear

A place to stand right now, right here,

Make me steadfast as a stone.

Upon the rock of assurance

The rock of righteousness

The rock of my salvation

Upon this rock I rest

Lord, give me a will that will not wane

A loyal heart to bear the pain

An eye that can see loss turn to gain

Make me steadfast as a stone.
