While other hopes are few and weak,
which shine but fade away
which shine but fade away
I need a rock, an anchoring place
Today I fall upon Your grace.
2. You are my ancient remedy,
2. You are my ancient remedy,
my everlasting cure
And deep within I rise, convinced
this remedy is sure
this remedy is sure
I need a rock, a healing place
Today I fall upon Your grace.
3. You are the chosen sacrifice,
the sacrificial Lamb,
3. You are the chosen sacrifice,
the sacrificial Lamb,
And on that distant lonely hill
You bore the sins of man
You are my rock, my saving place
Today I fall upon Your grace.
4. You are my steady Comforter,
4. You are my steady Comforter,
Your mighty arms will carry me
beyond the pains of death
beyond the pains of death
I need a rock, a hiding place
Today I fall upon Your grace.
