"O my dove in the clefts of the rock, in the crevice of the cliff, let me see your face,
let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet and your countenance is lovely."
(Song of Solomon 2:14)
In the clefted rock I hide,
Savior, let me here abide;
Sheltered from each stormy gale,
All secure within the vale.
Blessed Rock on Thee I build,
Ever be my sun and shield;
Help me labor, watch and pray,
Ready for the crowning day.
Tempest tossed, I came to Thee
Precious shelter made for me;
Cleansed and purified from sin,
Thou didst freely take me in.
When the surging billows roll,
There's a calm within my soul;
While my trust in Thee is stayed,
I shall never be afraid.
Rock of safety-blest abode,
Hid away with Christ in God;
Nothing can I want beside,
For my soul is satisfied.
When this earthly house shall fall,
And my days are numbered all;
Then my house not made with hands,
Evermore in glory stands.
Then dear Jesus, keep me hid,
That I e'er be found amid
Choicest jewels of Thy care,
When in glory I appear.
Blessed Rock on Thee I build,
Ever be my sun and shield;
Help me labor, watch and pray,
Ready for the crowning day.

"Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy, for in You my soul takes refuge.
In the shadow of Your wings I will take shelter until the danger has passed."
(Psalm 57:1)
When you find yourself suddenly facing a crisis what is your first response?
To see if you can work it out yourself or do you cry out to God?
Dr. Charles Stanley explains the difference between simply praying to God
and crying out to the Lord in times of uncertainty, heartache and trouble.

A time when country music was really country music,
and comedy skits were both crazy and clean!
"Almost persuaded," Agrippa said;
Conviction humbled his proud stately head,
And stirred his kingly breast;
He heard the wonderful words of Paul,
Proclaiming Jesus, the all in all,
The sinner's solace and rest;
But "almost persuaded" the king went his way,
Awaiting a more convenient day.
A more convenient day,
A more convenient day,
Alas! how many are going astray,
Awaiting a more convenient day.
"Almost persuaded," with bated breath,
The young man thinks of the moment of death,
But fame's alluring star,
To his fond vision so bright appears,
And comes anon to His waiting ears,
Such praise from near and far,
That with these delusions the youth turns away,
Awaiting a more convenient day.
"Almost persuaded," the maiden cries,
And wipes the tears from her sparkling brown eyes;
"But O, I'm called so fair,
'Tis hard to sacrifice joys of youth;
I'll seek the Lord and accept His truth,
When comes a season of prayer;
And struggling with conscience the girl turns away,
Awaiting a more convenient day.
"Almost persuaded," the Spirit waits,
"And knocks, and knocks, at the closely barred gates,
But silence reigns within;
No word of welcome comes back from those
Who spurn His warnings and seek repose
In fatal opiates of sin;
Rejected and slighted they turn Him away,
No hope of a more convenient day.
A more convenient day,
A more convenient day,
Alas! how many are going astray,
Awaiting a more convenient day.

"Desperado...why don't you come to your senses,
You been out ridin' fences...for so long now..."
Inspired by tales of the Old West, "Desperado" a ballad written by Eagles' band members
Glen Frey and Don Henley for their second studio album by the same name, was released
53 years ago this week on April 17th, 1973. This most well-known Eagles' song ranked
at Number 494 on Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time" in 2004.
Members of the Western Writers of America included the song in their list of the
Top 100 Western songs of all time. It was also the theme song of the late 1980's
"Desperado" film series starring American actor Alex McArthur as honest
cowboy Duel McCall trying to clear his name of a false murder charge.
