Gaither Vocal Band's song 'Rock of Ages' is a plea for divine refuge and comfort. The lyrics express moments of discouragement and temptation to complain, but the singer finds solace in remembering Jesus and His sacrifice. The repeated cry 'Rock of ages, hide Thou me' echoes a classic hymn theme, asking God to shelter and save. The song acknowledges human weakness and the need for a savior, emphasizing that only God can provide true refuge in a dark world. It is a heartfelt prayer for protection and grace.
Oh, then I cried
Oh, Rock of ages, hide Thou me
Sometimes I feel discouraged
And I think my works in vain
I'm tempted often to murmur
To grumble and complain
Oh but then I think of Jesus
And all He's done for me
Then I cry, oh Rock of ages, hide Thou me
Oh, Rock of ages, hide Thou me
There is no other refuge
Can save, Lord but Thee
And through this dark world
I've wandered far, far from Thee
Then I cry, Oh Rock of ages
Hide, dear Lord, Thou me, hide Thou me
