To put it simply, leadership is influence. The ideal leader is someone whose life and character motivate people to follow. The best kind of leadership derives its authority first from the force of a righteous example, and not merely from the power of prestige, personality, or position. By contrast, much of the world’s “leadership” is nothing but manipulation of people by threats and rewards. That is not true leadership; it’s exploitation. Real leadership seeks to motivate people from the inside, by an appeal to the heart, not by external pressure and coercion.
John MacArthur

You are my Rock

You are currently viewing You are my Rock
You Are My Rock

Moving through the shadows of uncertainty
Clinging to the words You said
Through my loneliness and fear I long to feel You near

But I hear another voice inside my head
But then the darkness is broken into
By inescapable light from You
I’m never standing alone

You are my rock, my fortress, my shield
You are my rock, let Your strength be revealed
My rock, my comfort, my peace
My salvation, my refuge, my God
You are my rock

Through the desperate night my soul cries out to You
Longing just to hear Your voice
In the quiet solitude, I sense Your magnitude
I feel the strength that makes my heart rejoice

You are the anchor securing me
I’ll never drift on the shifting sea
You are the eye of the storm

Through all the loneliness this world can ever bring
I’ll take my refuge in the shadow of Your wing
