Rock and Counselor

Rock and Counselor
(Jacob McGowen)

1st Verse:
When I worry so much
I crumble and I fall
And get tangled in burdens
That do plague us all
No amount of planning
Ever stops disaster
Not one single effort
Ever maintains my peace

Pre-Chorus:
But when I get caught up
In storms that harm me
I just stand, face this world, and I sing…

Chorus:
I cast my cares on my Rock and Counselor
I cast my cares on my Lord and Friend
I cast my cares on my Redeemer
Whose good and faithfulness will not end

2nd Verse:
These days have been trying
And they have been hard
When so many were strong
Now they’re falling apart
But as time has shown us
The early martyrs
Faced much greater trials
And yet they stood strong

Pre-Chorus:
So if you and I join our hands together
We can stand in our faith
And sing out our song

2nd Chorus:
We’ll cast our cares on our Rock and Counselor
We’ll cast our cares on our Lord and Friend
We’ll cast our cares on our Redeemer
Whose good and faithfulness will not end

Bridge:
If the Sun still shines
And the rain still pours out plenty
And the slow winds still compose
Their sweet refrain
Then the Lord, He will surely walk
Beside us always
Every single step to the very end of the age
But until then when we see His face…

3rd Chorus:
We’ll cast our cares on our Rock and Counselor
We’ll cast our cares on our Lord and friend
The One whose shoulders do bear
All kingdoms and who’ll be victorious
In the end
