The Rock That is Higher Than I

 

                                    The Rock That is Higher Than I

Sometimes we are faced with hard days that seem long and tiresome to us. We get weary and question whether our struggles are worth the effort. Life can be frustrating; Life can be challenging. Life can be long and seemingly impossible. We need strength and patience. We need someone to look over us and bring comfort to us. There is one person who is stronger than you and I. This song refers to Him as the Rock. Jesus Christ is our Rock and we can draw strength and comfort from Him. He is waiting, reach out to Him.

Lyrics by Erastus Johnson, arranged by William G. Fischer

“O sometimes the shadows are deep, and rough seems the path to the goal. And sorrows, sometimes how they sweep like tempests down over the soul!

O sometimes how long seems the day, and sometimes how weary my feet. But toiling in life’s dusty way, the Rock’s blessed shadow, how sweet!

O near to the Rock let me keep, if blessings or sorrows prevail; Or climbing the mountain way steep or walking the shadowy vale.

O then to the Rock let me fly, to the Rock that is higher than I; O then to the Rock let me fly, to the Rock that is higher than I!”
