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 dou-ble cure, cleanse me from its guilt and pow'r.
Cleanse me from its guilt and pow'r.
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee;
Not the labors of my hands can fulfill thy law's demands;
Could my zeal no respite know, could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone; thou must save, and thou alone.
Thou must save, and thou alone.
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee;
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.
Wash me Savior, or I die.
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee;
While I draw this fleeting breath, when mine eyelids 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.
Let me hide myself in thee.
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee;

The music itself is winsomely unique, but the community that was brought together by and gathered around Michael Anderson was just as winsome. It's more than a cycle of songs, it's communal. Grace Worship
