Higher Helper

“From the end of the earth will I cry unto Thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I” (Psalm 61:2).  “He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool” (Proverbs 28:26).

When wearied by the upward climb,
When circumstances overwhelm,
We cry to God at such a time,
Who leads us to a higher realm.

He is the Rock to which we’re led,
Who lifts us to a higher place
Than sin and self to Him instead
And from our weakness to His grace.

We dare not trust our feeble heart
Or run with strength that is our own.
From our own wisdom we depart
And cry to God, and God alone.

And thus we’re lifted to the Rock,
That situates us far above
The noise of those who daily mock,
To hear God’s voice of truth and love.

O Lord, we’re learning day by day
To bring to You our heart’s desire.
From strength to strength You lead the way
To lift us higher and still higher.
