One Billion Years in a Road Cut
(FM 1431, Marble Falls, Texas)

I could think of no greater blessing today than the work of God
that is evidenced on the land on which we camp.
The geology of this area is incredible.
The lakes are full and I am happy.
Happy Blog Your Blessing Sunday!

Sing with me, now. . .

Rock Of Ages

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy wounded side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure;
save from wrath and make me pure.


Not the labors of my hands
can fulfill thy law's commands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears forever flow,
all for sin could not atone;
thou must save, and thou alone.


Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to the cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Savior, or I die.


While I draw this fleeting breath,

when mine eyes shall close in death,
when I soar to worlds unknown,
see thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee.

Love rocks! My Dad got me started as a young rock hound. In school, I always taught a unit on rocks no matter whether it was Kindergarten or older kids I was teaching.

"Your" rock photo is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing and being a blessing to me today!
