Earthquake flashback

 The other evening we had a Cd playing as we went about our work. The song "In the Rifted Rock I'm Resting" came on and immediately Cherlise (5) said, "Oh! That's a song from the earthquake!" I didn't understand, and asked her what she meant. "Yes," she said, "You sang that in the earthquake!" I could hardly believe my ears. I just so remember singing to calm the children (and myself!) while we endured the many hard aftershocks, and while I can see that I would've sang that song, I didn't remember any of it! It's incredible to think that she remembered the song and the scenario from when she was only 3!

In the rifted Rock I'm resting,

Safely sheltered, I abide;

There no foes nor storms molest me,

While within the cleft I hide.

Chorus: Now I'm resting, sweetly resting,

In the cleft once made for me:

Jesus, blessed Rock of Ages,

I will hide myself in Thee.

Long pursued by sin and Satan,

Weary, sad I longed for rest;

Then I found this heav'nly shelter,

Opened in my Saviour's  breast.

Peace which passeth understanding,

Joy, the world can never give,

Now in Jesus I am finding;

In His smiles of love I live.

In the Rifted Rock I'll hide me,

Till the storms of life are past,

All secure in this blest refuge,

Heeding not the fiercest blast.
