A Song for Reflection....

Nothing fancy or insightful today just the lyrics to a song that has always blessed me and remind me our Great God who is Mighty to Save. It's times in my life like this that I love that I have songs like this to run back to.

"Rock of Ages"
by: Augustus Toplady

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,
Save from wrath and make me pure.

Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.

Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simply to Thy 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.

While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyes shall close in death,
When I rise to worlds unknown,
And See Thee on Thy Judgement Throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee.
