Rock of Ages

Rock of Ages, when the day seems long

From this labor and this heartache I have come

The skies will wear out, but You remain the same

Rock of Ages, I praise Your name.

Rock of Ages, You have brought me near

You have poured out your life-blood, Your love, Your tears

To make this stone heart come alive again

Rock of Ages, forgive my sin.

Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages

Bind your children 'till your kingdom comes

Rock of Ages, Your will be done.

Rock of Ages, when in want or rest

My desperate need for such a Savior I confess

Pull these idols out from my heart embrace

Rock of Ages, I need Your grace.

Rock of Ages, broken, scorned for me

Who am I that You would die to make me free?

To give me glory, You took the death and pain

Rock of Ages, my offering.

Rock of Ages, "It is done," You cried

The curtain's torn and I see justice satisfied

Now write Your mercy on my heart and hands

Rock of Ages, in faith I stand.

Rock of Ages, my great hope source

Your promise holds just like an anchor to my soul

Bind your children with cords of love and grace

Rock of Ages, we give You praise.
