Rock of Ages (Grace Community Church)

Congregational singing (Shepherds’ Conference)
Grace Community Church - Sun Valley, California
Text: Augustus M. Toplady | Tune: TOPLADY (Hastings)

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven 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 Thy 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.

[AugustinaUdeh]

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,  
Let me hide myself in Thee; 
Let the water and the blood,  
From Thy riven 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 Thy 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 in Thy Kingdom that's to come,  
And behold Thee on Thy throne,  
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,  
Let me hide myself in Thee.

Fantastic Theology about Wonderful Grace. Not by Human Centered But by God's Mercy Grace and Will.

Another beautiful hymn to remind us of what Jesus - not we - has done!!! Thank you!

[williamwei]

Hallelujah. All I have is Christ. Jesus is my life. Thanks be to the Lord my God and Savior Jesus Christ.

I love congregational singing - the focus seems to be more on the lyrics than on the stage.
