Jesus Christ is the Rock of Ages...He's the same yesterday, today and forever! He's ever loving, ever protective of those who trust in Him. Rock of Ages, ALWAYS cleft for me and mine in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Me too! I have heard this hymn all my life but never really knew the words. After reading Redeeming Love I wanted to read the lyrics. So glad I did. Powerful!
Everyday I sin against God. Everyday I am ashamed and afraid of His wrath. I just want to stop letting God down and get my soul right with Him. He is my rock and my savior. Yet again and again I sin. God have mercy on my sinning soul. I'm so sorry and ashamed.
Paul said wretched man I do things that I don't want to do. Surrender, tell you can't do it any more. He forgives all our sins, hang in there, the Lord will lead you on in His time. Give your day to him, read your word, but most of all Talk to Him. Just say "Have you got a minute Lord" He always has. Tell all those past hurts. Ps 23 + Ep: 6 Ask Him to cover you with His precious Blood. The Lord lead you on with His Holy Spirit
When I was a teenager many many years ago I was cycling through Cheddar gorge in Somerset England when it started to rain. I took shelter in a crag of rocks and to my surprise saw a plaque beside me saying that the writer of the hymn had taken shelter from rain in the same rocks and that this inspired him to write 'Rock of Ages'
I was there yesterday evening, it's actually at the bottom of Burrington Combe which is another less dramatic Gorge than Cheddar in the Mendip Hills a couple of miles away, beautiful place though...
I first heard this hymn at my father's funeral. I was ten years old and barely understood its great meaning. After over 50 years as an unbeliever, I was baptized. This great blessing from my Heavenly Father for His Son's great gift for the redemption of my soul. After I received the gift of the Holy Ghost. As the final hymn, we sang this hymn and now know the great meaning of these inspired words. I hope all can know this gift!
The Lord is the rock of my life I will never be shaken. Really good and wonderful performance. Keep rooted in him and he shall sustain you in all your ways.
I used to sing this all of the time at my Church with one of the deacons, and the song leader there. He passed not long ago to be with the Lord, and I had just thought of him and thought of this song. Rest in peace Rodney, and I know you're doing well in Heaven. I miss you
There's just something about hymns that modern contemporary Christian music can never touch. Maybe it's because this was written, like other hymns, from the depths of the human soul, from a broken heart, from people at their lowest reaching up to their Heavenly Father in faith. Nowadays the music is so predictable with its chord progressions, and worst of all it is made to fit into the world, not to be a separate light in this present darkness. When I listen to hymns like this, I feel revived and ever closer to God. When I hear contemporary music, I feel empty--it never hits the deepest parts of the heart/mind/soul. I think the issue is most popular modern Christian artists have fallen into what C.S. Lewis called the "Christianity and..." trap (see The Screwtape Letters), like mixing Christianity and rap , hip-hop, or another new genre. "Substitute for the faith itself some Fashion with a Christian coloring."--Screwtape. In trying to reach more people, I fear the world is transforming them, not the other way around. Hate to complain about subjective topics, but I see it a lot at my college. When the modern music starts playing, eyes glaze over and you're just reading a screen. No matter how much I try, I feel like I'm presenting a facade of myself to people around me and to God. So I come here to really speak to my God, my Redeemer, my closest of friends.
Don't disagree with some of your thoughts as a high percentage of today's christian music centers strictly on anxiety/depression type themes. Way too much in my opinion. However, do not discredit recent songs like "In Christ Alone" and a fairly new song from Phil Wickham called "Living Hope". Thank God there are still some new songs that still speak to the rich theology, shades of great hymns of the faith. BTW, there are some awful weak lyrics that are considered Hymns as well. Subjective argument to your earlier point indeed.
In Christ Alone is one of my favorite songs but there's an error in the lyrics: There in the ground His body lay Light of the world by darkness slain Then bursting forth in glorious Day Up from the grave He rose again Jesus' body never lay on the ground He was entombed. Jesus was never in the grave If they correct that it's awesome and biblically correct song.
"Wash me, Saviour, or I die." I remember at a bus stop, hearing these words brought chills to my spine.. the realisation that without the washing power of Christ's blood I would've perished in my sins,. Grace grace grace.
I knew this tune and had heard this hymn in passing. I only came to the Lord in April this year and we sing it for my first time in church yesterday. It was wonderful. I am having a tough day today and played this and it is astounding and wonderful.
"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." Praise the Most High for His loving kindness and tender mercies!!!!
This is a beautiful uplifting song to be enjoyed as we journey to our final home. It will be a comfort as we close our eyes in death. Oh what a savior we serve, praise his holy name.
Praise the Lord!!! I feel His Presence so mightily while listening to this Hymn being sung. The words make me tremble. I love my Jesus. He is the perfect ROCK OF AGES!!! Our Eternal King.
The best choir rendition I've heard of this song!! Definitely brings tears of repentance and sorrow for my sins and those of others. The words show that no matter what others may do to us or to our world (chemtrails, GMO, corruption abounding in the world and church), they will one day have to answer to God who is the Righteous Judge. Thanks for posting. God bless your efforts.
Days are difficult but my faith in the Lord keeps me going. I say the Lord’s Prayer continuously and need him to carry me thru the hardships im facing currently and in the future. The Lord’s will be done is all i want for my life. ✝️🙏🏻
I am here on a lovely September 11th afternoon, after having read page 422 of Francine River’s lovely book; Redeeming Love. It is clearly the best book I have ever read, and a huge reminder of the Lord’s love for us. All Glory be to our creator and our brother Jesus Christ. May Gos bless the person reading this and remember to put your life in his hands and all of your pain, suffering, doubts, fears, questions will be washed away into the waters of the sea and his peace will reign unto thee!
These great hymns of the faith have, "stood the test of time", how they comfort my heart!! how I love to sing them and to play them on my keyboard or just to listen to them. Thanks for sharing them. 👍🏽 God bless and as always praise to the Name above every name - Jesus Christ my lord and dearest friend. ✝Brruce
Nothing can touch or replace these glorious hymns. I loved them even as a non-believer. They have lasted decades, some for hundreds of years, and they will continue to be loved until the Lord returns and we all sing together ~
The words of these old Hymns are such a great Blessing. They are so Biblically and Theologically sound and they touch the Spirit on a deeper level. Thank God for them!
I just am loving the tender and righteous and just and healing mercies of this song that I can not stop hearing in my soul when I buried my precious beloved among so many righteous souls of rural routes that fought in so many hellish wars.
Lyrics: 1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy riven side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure, Save me from its guilt and power. 2 Not the labor of my hands Can fulfill Thy law’s demands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All could never sin erase, Thou must save, and save by grace. 3 Nothing in my hands 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. 4 While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyes shall 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.
This played at my grandmas funeral. She was my mother essentially. It sounded similar to this song. God Bless you Carol Evenson and may God give you peace in hereafter.
Nothing reaches to the depths of the human soul like these scripturally rich hymns of days past except the scripture itself. In these last days, let us take refuge in the cleft of the Rock until our Redeemer brings us into His very presence. Psalm 91🙏
I'm from Somerset in England. Augustus Toplady was inspired to write this song after sheltering from a sudden storm in a cleft within the rocks at Cheddar Gorge, which is a place I used to play in as a child. This song holds a special place in my heart.
How beautiful. In this age of sickness and troubles may the Good Lord keep us safe and if not prepare a place at his side. God Bless every single person in our beautiful world. 😊😊😊😊🐱🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Praise be to God. It is not my efforts that deliver me from sin. But when I give up and look at His cross He gives me victory through His grace and love.
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE HYMNS. I HEARD IT A LOT OUTSIDE OF CHURCH. I USED TO WATCH OLD (BUT GOOD) CLASSIC WESTERNS WITH MY GRANDPARENTS. PEOPLE IN THOSE SHOWS USED TO SING THIS AT THE FUNERAL. I BELIEVE EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. TAKE CARE!! GOD BLESS!!!!
Never cease to pray until your sons and your daughters are safe landed on the Rock of Ages, and so secured there that they will need no other rock to hide them in the day when Christ shall come. I beseech you, Christian friends, ask for tenderness towards sinners, towards all sinners, and let your tenderness be shown in fervent prayer, in incessant effort, and in holy sympathy towards the wandering ones
Mine too. Yet I have not the strength to stop sinning. I'm ashamed of myself. How do I fix this? I ask God to burn all this nastiness from me yet again and again I fail. I'm so weak.....
@@fredrogers838 When you ask forgiveness for your sins, you must believe ( ask God to help your unbelief) that God will reward you for trusting and believing in Him. Ask for His divine well for you life. Listen really Listen to Him as He make you aware of His will for you My mother always said you must put feet to prayers.... Work on the things you want changed as you pray for changes in your life.
@Faith Kelen, I’m so sorry to hear that you lost your mother when you were so young. I hope that you’ve have grown up well, and strong; that you would make your mother proud. And you may find the love and strength in Jesus during this pandemic. November 28, 2020
My dad and his family are from Guam, and his mom (My grandma) would hum this song to every kid in the house, and it would put them straight to sleep. In Guam, this song is actually used at funerals and was called "The Death Song" in our house. Everyone fell asleep to the Death Song. We were trying to find it and what it was called, then my grandpa told us it was this song. Glad to know this is what we fell asleep to for a few decades
Music is such a strong spell that man has made to show our love. Today, it's more love for materialistic things rather than for family, wife, or God. Listen to a song well enough and you can feel what the writer was feeling when he wrote it. Something worldly music will never be able to accomplish.
Praise the Lord. Such a beautiful hymn. When we listen closely, we can feel so close to Our Lord, clinging to that Rock whatever befalls us in this life, knowing someday we shall see Him face to face.
Is anyone listening with enjoying this amazing lyrics including fantastic truth in 2024?

Praying for you sister. Our Heavenly Father understands your pain .He cares about you. ❤
Sad sorry 😢, what was her name.
Me too I could not bury my mum but the Rock was and is always there for us This gives me comfort
I was brought here by Francine Rivers' novel "Redeeming Love" :)
me too Sabrina!! Did you like the book? I loved it and this video is beautiful
Maria Kafantaris The book was wonderful! :)
Me too! I have heard this hymn all my life but never really knew the words. After reading Redeeming Love I wanted to read the lyrics. So glad I did. Powerful!
Same! On the page right now!
Me too!
My grandmother's favorite song. Family gathered around her in her last minutes and sang it to her.
Beautiful God bless you and your family.
Reminds me of my grandmother too. She used to sing it every morning b4 she left bed
Beautiful
glory be to God
How awesome! God bless you!
I thank the Lord for leading me here. May all who read this be blessed and find salvation.
Everyday I sin against God. Everyday I am ashamed and afraid of His wrath. I just want to stop letting God down and get my soul right with Him. He is my rock and my savior. Yet again and again I sin. God have mercy on my sinning soul. I'm so sorry and ashamed.
Galatians 5:16
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Paul said wretched man I do things that I don't want to do. Surrender, tell you can't do it any more. He forgives all our sins, hang in there, the Lord will lead you on in His time.

God does not want us to fear His grace is sufficient no need to worry brother. Pray for him to show you this. Its ok to ask.

Be of sin a double cure; save me from its guilt and power.

At 83, I say no comment can add anything more to this glorious Hymn.
I am only a baby at 82 and this hymn will be sung at my funeral, "Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to Thy cross I cling". That is my testimony.

Mixing Christian hymns with pop rock,rock,rap background beat,etc is actually mixing the sacred with the occult
I agree.If you want to know more about contemporary Christian music I recommend you to watch this video th-cam.com/video/XQdcEnzhTh4/w-d-xo.html
In Christ Alone is one of my favorite songs but there's an error in the lyrics: There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
Jesus' body never lay on the ground He was entombed. Jesus was never in the grave If they correct that it's awesome and biblically correct song.
You're right! Have you listened to Annie Herring? She writes in the same manner!
Jesus the rock that cannot be moved, the Lamb that took all our sins away. He's worthy to be praised
Indeed He is worthy
Amen my friend :)

Please, no more, my chuckle muscles are about to burst. 🤣

Lyrics:
1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save me from its guilt and power.
2 Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears forever flow,
All could never sin erase,
Thou must save, and save by grace.
3 Nothing in my hands 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.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When mine eyes shall 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.
Just an amazing hymn! I return to it again and again!
Thank you dear ! How Is powerful This song !
Thank you to write it !
Can't imagine why over 1200 people would give a thumbs down to this hymn.

Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

The start of this hymn sends shivers down my spine beautiful hymn

My dad and his family are from Guam, and his mom (My grandma) would hum this song to every kid in the house, and it would put them straight to sleep. In Guam, this song is actually used at funerals and was called "The Death Song" in our house. Everyone fell asleep to the Death Song. We were trying to find it and what it was called, then my grandpa told us it was this song. Glad to know this is what we fell asleep to for a few decades
Beautiful story.
God bless you
Just love classic Sunday Hymns! One of my favorite hymns to play for church.

Music is such a strong spell that man has made to show our love. Today, it's more love for materialistic things rather than for family, wife, or God. Listen to a song well enough and you can feel what the writer was feeling when he wrote it. Something worldly music will never be able to accomplish.
This song is beautiful. It is one of the most inspiring songs I have ever heard.
