Friday, Feb. 02, 2007 - 12:52 p.m.
�I WILL SING OF THE MERCIES OF THE LORD FOREVER,
I WILL SING, I WILL SING;
I WILL SING OF THE MERCIES OF THE LORD FOREVER,
I WILL SING OF THE MERCIES OF THE LORD.
WITH MY MOUTH WILL I MAKE KNOWN,
THY FAITHFLUNESS, THY FAITHFULNESS,
WITH MY MOUTH WILL I MAKE KNOWN,
THY FAITHFULNESS TO ALL GENERATIONS.
I WILL SING OF THE MERCIES OF THE LORD FOREVER
I WILL SING OF THE MERCIES OF THE LORD�
~~~
�HE�S MY ROCK MY SWORD, MY SHIELD,
HE�S MY WHEEL IN THE MIDLE OF A WHEEL,
HE�S THE LILY OF THE VALLEY,
THE BRIGHT MORNING STAR.
MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHAT THEY SAY,
I�M GOING ON MY KNEES AND PRAY.
I�M GONNA SEE MY LORDS FACE BY AND BYE.�
~~~
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 A DOUBLE CURE,
SAVE FROM WRATH AND MAKE PURE
COULD MY TEARS FOREVER FLOW,
COULD MY ZEAL NO LANQUOR KNOW.
THESE FOR SIN COULD NOT ATONE;
THOU MUST SAVE, AND THOU ALONE;
IN MY HAND NO PRICE I BRING,
SIMPLY TO THE CROSS I CLING.
WHILE I DRAW THIS FLEETING BREATH,
WHEN MY EYES SHALL CLOSE IN DEATH.
WHEN I RISE TO THE WORLDS UNKNOWN,
AND BEHOLD THEE ON THY THRONE.
ROCK OF AGES, CLEFT FOR ME,
LET ME HIDE MYSELF IN THEE.

And now the first? Rock Concert? When David and his court and musicians were singing this Psalm�
�Psalm 31:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness. 2 Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me. 3 For thou art my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name's sake lead me, and guide me. 4 Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou art my strength. 5 Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth. 6 I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD. 7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities; 8 And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room. 9 Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, yea, my soul and my belly. 10 For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed."
Just a thought� in jest� the ROCK music didn�t turn to �ROCK and ROLL� until the Resurrection of Christ when the big stone was ROLLED away and exposed the EMPTY tomb!
~~~
ROLL AWAY, ROLL AWAY, ROLL AWAY;
EVERY BURDON OF MY HEART ROLLED AWAY:
ROLL AWAY, ROLL AWAY, ROLL AWAY;
EVERY BURDON OF MY HEART ROLLED AWAY:
EVERY SIN HAD TO GO;
BENEATH THAT CRIMSON FLOW; HALLEUAH!
ROLL AWAY, ROLL AWAY, ROLL AWAY;
EVERY BURDON OF MY HEART ROLLED AWAY:
~~~
