Rock of Ages Songtext

von Chris Rice

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
Let me hide myself
Let me hide myself in thee
Let me hide myself
Let me hide myself
Let me hide myself in thee
Let me hide myself
Let me hide myself
Let me hide myself in thee
