Bedrock

This song is wholly inspired by the beautiful words spoken by Jesus, as recorded by Matthew, in the Apocryphal text, 'The Gospel of Q: Jesus' Prophetic Wisdom.' Be blessed. Be comforted. Rejoice and be glad. He loves you. And only He can bring you joy. Amen?

To God be all the glory and honor.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Blessed are you
Who are poor
Because God’s reign
Opened the door
Blessed are you
Who hunger and thirst
Because He will fill
What was empty and cursed

[Pre-Chorus]
Rejoice and be glad
Open is Heaven’s gate
Rejoice and be glad
Because your reward is great!

[Chorus]
You call me ‘Master’
But don’t listen to my voice?
You hear my words
And don’t rejoice?
Build your house
Upon my bedrock
Where the rain, flood and wind
Will not destroy
Build your house
On my bedrock
Where I will bring you joy

Whoa!

[Verse 2]
Blessed are you
Who do mourn
You will be comforted
Your heart reborn
Blessed are you
When they criticize, harass and lie
That was how they treated
The prophets who died, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
Rejoice and be glad
Open is Heaven’s gate
Rejoice and be glad
Because your reward is great!

[Chorus]
You call me ‘Master’
But don’t listen to my voice?
You hear my words
And don’t rejoice?
Build your house
Upon my bedrock
Where the rain, flood and wind
Will not destroy
Build your house
On my bedrock
Where I will bring you joy!

Joy
Joy
Joy
Joy

[Bridge]
Love your enemies
Pray for those who lie
You’ll become children
Of your Provider
Who makes the sun rise
On those who are evil (and those who are not)
He sends rain on those
Who are pure (are pure)
And those who are for naught, oh

[Final Chorus]
You call me ‘Master’
Don’t listen to my voice?
You hear my words
And don’t rejoice?
Build your house
Upon my bedrock

Build your house
On my bedrock
On my bedrock
Where the rain, flood and wind
Will not destroy
Build your house
Build your house
On my bedrock
Build your house
On my bedrock
Where the rain, flood and wind
Will not destroy

Build your house
On my bedrock
On my bedrock
Where the rain, flood and wind
Will not destroy
Build your house
On my bedrock
On my bedrock
Where I will bring you joy

Where I will bring you joy

Stronger Than Impossible

I wrote this praise and worship song, partly inspired by Acts chapter 3, when Peter healed the lame beggar who had nothing but pure faith that Jesus would heal him of his affliction. 

It is dedicated to my beloved Aunt Opal who went home to be with the Lord the day I finished this song. May God bless her soul and keep her family in the hollow of His hand, and give them peace that passes all understanding.

I hope this song inspires and blesses you, as the message of hope and healing inspires me. Remember His promise over fear. He speaks a different word to our soul than the world speaks, because His love is stronger than the impossible.

Please share this with whomever you think needs hope and encouragement during a trial or hardship in their life. Share it with those who need a reminder to trust His will, those who have just enough faith to be healed.

To God be all the glory, and let every fear stand still.



Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
They said
“Learn to live with it”
White coats, tired eyes
Long sterile halls
Only offered compromise
He said, “Baby, this is it”
She stared at the cracks in the wall
Every test came back the same
Every chart wrote the end of the story
Their minds drew a line in the sand
But her heart kept reaching for glory

[Chorus]
Stronger than impossible
Your promise over fear
Faith like a whisper
Still You draw us near
By faith I’m made strong, oh
When my mind says “can’t be whole”
You speak a different Word to my soul
I’m standing in the storm
Unshakable (unshakable)
‘Cause Your love is stronger than impossible

[Verse 2]
Morning light through plastic blinds
He scrolls through worst-case plans
Bills stacked up like battle lines
Trembling coffee in his hand
But she hums that old church song
Soft and cracked, but holding on
“Though my flesh and heart may fail
My healer’s Word is never gone”

[Chorus]
Stronger than impossible
Your promise over fear
Faith like a whisper
Still You draw us near
By faith I’m made strong (by faith made strong)
When my mind says “can’t be whole”
You speak a different Word to my soul
I’m standing in the storm
Unshakable (unshakable)
‘Cause Your love is stronger than impossible

[Bridge]
Let every doubt fall quiet
Let every fear stand still
I don’t have to move the world
I just have to trust His will
Even if the mountain laughs
I’ll speak to it again
My spirit’s on its knees
But I’ve got just enough faith
To be healed
By the God that I can’t see

Jesus

I’ve got just enough faith to be healed
And that’s enough for me

[Chorus]
You’re stronger than impossible
Your (Your promise over fear)
Faith like a whisper
Still You draw us near, oh!
By faith I’m made strong (hey!)
When my mind says “can’t be whole”
You speak a different Word (different) my soul!
I’m standing in the storm
Unshakable (unshakable)
‘Cause Your love is stronger than impossible!

[OUTRO]
(Your promise over fear)
Lord, You’re stronger than impossible
(Faith like a whisper, still You draw us near)
By faith we’re made strong (by faith)
When our mind says “can’t be whole”
You speak a different Word to our soul (our soul)
We’re standing in the storm
Unshakable (unshakable)
‘Cause Your love is stronger than impossible 

Yeah! Your promise over fear!
Jesus
Faith like a whisper (Still You)
By faith we’re made strong! (when our mind says)
You, You speak a different Word to our soul
We’re standing in the storm (unshakable, unshakable)

‘Cause Your love is stronger
Jesus
Your love is stronger
Yes, Jesus
Your love is stronger
Stronger than impossible
