The Rock That is Higher than I (Psalm 61) Lyrics
[VERSE 1]
Convinced as a sinner, to Jesus I come,
Informed by the gospel for such there is room;
O’erwhelmed with sorrow for sin, will I cry;
“Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.”
[CHORUS]
Lead me to the Rock, higher than I
Safe in Your arms where my fears go to die
You lift me up, You carry me through
Jesus, my Rock, I’m running to You
Lead me to the Rock, higher than I
Forever I’ll trust in the One who won’t die
In every storm, my anchor, my stay
Jesus, my Rock, forever I’ll pray
[VERSE 2]
O blessed be Jesus, for answering prayer,
And raising my soul from the pit of despair;
In every new trial, to him will I cry,
“Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.”
[CHORUS]
Lead me to the Rock, higher than I
Safe in Your arms where my fears go to die
You lift me up, You carry me through
Jesus, my Rock, I’m running to You
Lead me to the Rock, higher than I
Forever I’ll trust in the One who won’t die
In every storm, my anchor, my stay
Jesus, my Rock, forever I’ll pray
[VERSE 3]
When sorely afflicted, and ready to faint,
Before my Redeemer I’ll spread my complaint;
’Midst storms and distresses, my soul shall rely
On Jesus, the Rock that is higher than I.
[SPOKEN – Psalm 61:1-4]
Hear my cry, God;
Give Your attention to my prayer.
From the end of the earth I call to You when my heart is faint;
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
For You have been a refuge for me,
A tower of strength against the enemy.
Let me dwell in Your tent forever;
Let me take refuge in the shelter of Your wings.
[CHORUS]
Lead me to the Rock, higher than I
Safe in Your arms where my fears go to die
You lift me up, You carry me through
Jesus, my Rock, I’m running to You
Lead me to the Rock, higher than I
Forever I’ll trust in the One who won’t die
In every storm, my anchor, my stay
Jesus, my Rock, forever I’ll pray
