O I have found a friend
One who loves me, like no other
When I'm tempted, tossed and torn
He stand with me like a brother
Oh He is strong when I am weak
And He protects me in times of trouble
When there's nothing left for me to give
I trust in Him for He is faithful
O rock of ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee
Through the dark and through the storm
I'll be safe and warm in the rock of ages
Nothing in my hands I bring
Simply to the cross I'm clinging
Oh wash me Savior or I die
In You alone I find my healing
O rock of ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee
Through the dark and through the storm
I'll be safe and warm in the rock of ages
In the rock of ages
To the King of the Ages, immortal, invisible
Be Honor and Glory, Amen
To the King of the Ages, immortal, invisible
Be Honor and Glory, Amen
To the King of the Ages, immortal, invisible
Be Honor and Glory, Amen
To the King of the Ages, immortal, invisible
Be Honor and Glory, Amen
Amen, Amen
When I close my eyes in death
When my life on Earth is over
And I stand before my King
Oh this will be my song forever
Yeah this will be my song forever
O rock of ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee
Through the dark and through the storm
I'll be safe and warm
O rock of ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee
Through the dark and through the storm
I'll be safe and warm in the rock of ages
In the rock of ages
In the rock of ages
In the rock of ages
