ROCK OF AGES (Skeletons of Faith)
WORDS & MUSIC : Reggie and Kim Harris
VERSE 1
There's a storm on the horizon
and there's water where we thought it could not be
every city, every town has watched that wall come down
as the river takes our dreams out to the sea
verse 2
One by one we lose conviction
devastation breeds confusion in the soul
smashed and battered / beaten down
we've been pushed to higher ground
by a force that we once thought we could control
CHORUS 1
Rock of Ages cleft for me/let me hide myself in thee
give me shelter from the storms of this troubled land!
VERSE 3
There's a war on the horizon
and there's danger where we thought it could not be
waves of prejudice and fear
have made their presence clear
through hateful deeds that flood our hearts with misery!
Verse
One by one we lose conviction
as we struggle through our anger to hold on
reaching out in freedom's name
through illusions, doubt and pain
we are skeletons of faith yet we are strong!
CHORUS 2
Rock of Ages cleft for me/let me hide myself in thee
give me shelter from the storms of this troubled land!
BRIDGE:
So we suffer through the arrogance
suffer through the hate
suffer the indignities that ignorance creates
suffer war and violence from those who seek to gain
we suffer from injustice done in someone's holy name!
we suffer lies that we've been told
the subtle acts of mind control
from logic that corrupts us as we slowly lose our way
we give our blood / we make a stand
and as that current sweeps the land
the voices of the elders come
to guide us safely to that rock of ages
and all we hope to be...
within that shelter from the
storms of this troubled land!
CHORUS:
Rock of Ages cleft for me/let me hide myself in thee
give me shelter from the storms of this troubled land!
Ending:
Rock of ages cleft for me / let me hide myself in thee!
Rock of ages cleft for me / let me hide myself in thee!
Rock of ages cleft for me / let me hide myself in thee!
Rock of ages cleft for me / let me hide myself in thee!
Rock of ages cleft for me / let me hide myself in thee!
