This melody of Rock of Ages by James Ward is one that I've sung since high school. I love how it echoes the desperate, aching need we have to be hidden in perfect rescue. My friend, Jenny Myers, played piano, violin, and viola. My friend Daniel Lilley played bass, and I hired a Turkish accordionist so I could feel a little like Rich Mullins.

Verse 1
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee!
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure:
Cleanse me from its guilt and power!

Verse 2
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!

Verse 3
Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to the 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.

Verse 4
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my 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.
