My Strong Tower

High upon a hill I see
My own redemption right in front of me
How long I've waited to be free
And see the future you planned for me

My trial has taught me of your grace
And the awesome beauty of your face
A fire so hot I couldn't see
That you where standing right in front of me

Ten long years is what it took
To change me from a babbling brook
Into a river flowing wide
With all the wisdom you placed inside

After all the courage you've given me 
It's now the time,  you've set me free
To teach others of this place
Where I learned to find your grace

I'm sold out and prisoner of
All your promises and all your love
Nowhere can you ever go
That this river doesn't flow

A strong tower, built to stand
Nowhere near shifting sand
Gods my refuge and my strength
And to him I will always look

I trust the words wrote in his book
Because Gods word has never failed
But with my eyes I could not see
Only with the faith you've given me

A tempest though this life may be
I have made it thru this storm 
Even though many have tried before
To walk on water With my lord
