Mama taught me upon the rock to stand
But as I grew to be a man
Sin eroded it away to shifting sand.
I never forgot how safe and secure
While on that rock, I stood so sure.
Now as I near the end,
I am clawing my way back
to that rock again.
Lord Jesus, I am a sinner, that is true,
But Lord, I have never forgotten You.
I know my life has been a disappointment
and I have no excuse,
But Lord I pray for forgiveness,
And with the time I have left,
Your work I will do.
I know it is late and I deserve it not,
Lord I am not much but will give you all I have got.
Forgive me I beg as this lost ship comes to dock,
And once more I stand safe and secure on the rock.
