On This Rock Virginia Salter Rock of ages thrown at me heretics would thwart my plea. On the solid rock I stand my foundation’s in His hand. That rugged cross all bloodied down cleanses me lets go my frown. Amazing grace is holding me helps me hear though dimly see in the glass though darkly I till I reach sweet bye and bye. Just as I am my steps move forth it’s in His blood I find my worth. © February 14, 2001 You can probably tell what I've done...strong together gospel song titles into a poem. There could be millions of ways to do this and one could use secular song titles, too. Kind of like "Whose Line..." on t.v. in the game 'song titles'. anyone game? |

I think I'll pass on the challenge (I've passed on all but one... might as well not mar my record anymore! LOL) but this reminds me so much of the games I used to play with song titles in the hymnal in order to keep myself entertained during boring sermons that seemed to last forever... and how much trouble I'd get in when I was too successful and started giggling. *G* |

Oh dear, I didn't know anybody else did this. Now all grown up I'm ashamed to say as a teenager we (boyfriend)use to sit and go through the titles in the back of the hymnal and have a complete conversation without saying a word. Hopefully God understood teenage hormones and will forgive me this one little transgression. |

My, my, did you find away to use gospel titles to say things you needed forgiveness for? It was hormones in control? Sounds amazing, you must have been divergent thinkers. |
