Rock of Ages

Rock of Ages

I am tumbling down

Where the roots of trees embrace you

I do fall upon my knees

And ask you how

You can just sit there and be

Rock of Ages

I am crumbling now

In an avalanche

I'm reaching for the rock of ages

Rock of ages

Father, now I have stepped

Beyond my bounds

Now the pack I wear

It weighs a thousand pounds

It drags me down

Make me think crazy

Oh, my rock of ages

I have gone astray

I heard my brother call

I turned the other way

Now I'm ashamed

To face him

Oh, my rock of ages

Rock of ages

Oh, my rock of ages

Rock of ages

Reach for the rock of ages

Rock of ages

In the avalanche

In the avalanche

Heavy rock

And I reach for the rock

I reach for the rock

In the avalanche it falls

I reach for the rock

I reach for the rock

I reach for the rock

In the avalanche

In the avalanche

Heavy rock

Heavy rock

Such a heavy rock
