let me hide myself in Thee
Rock of ages, cleft for me
let me hide myself in Thee
You are my shield, You are my covering
You are my stability, My foundation.
You are my shield, You are my covering
You are my stability, My foundation.
Take me to the place, The place You are
The secret place that's where I wanna be.
Take me to the place The place You are
the secret place that's where I wanna be
Rock of ages, cleft for me
let me hide myself in Thee
Rock of ages, cleft for me
let me hide myself in Thee
You are my shield, You are my covering
You are my stability, My foundation.
You are my shield, You are my covering
You are my stability, My foundation.
You are my stability My foundation.
Take me to the place, The place You are
The secret place that's where I wanna be.
that's where I wanna be
Take my hands, take my hands
Lead me to the rock, that is higher than I
Take my hands, take my hands
Lead me to the rock, that is higher than I
Take my hands, take my hands
Lead me to the rock, that is higher than I
Take my hands, take my hands
Lead me to the rock, that is higher than I
Take me to the place, The place You are
The secret place that's where I wanna be.
Take me to the place The place You are
the secret place
That's where I wanna be
That's where I wanna be
