Christ the King is the Rock of Ages.
Jesus has delivered us from power of Hades,
The Eternal Rock is our Rock of Salvation,
By Him we are free from eternal damnation.
Beware for our Lord is also the Rock of offense;
Presumptuous sin will offer you no defense,
For this Rock can make you slip and fall;
Yet by His Spirit and Love you’ll still stand tall.
This Divine Challenge may cause you to stumble,
Yet by His grace and mercy you’ll not crumble.
‘T is a privilege to drink from this Spiritual Rock.
At the door of your heart He does quietly knock;
Won’t you allow Him to dine with you?
Won’t you do His will with heaven in view?
Like Moses in the cleft of the Rock,
He’ll plant your feet firmly on the Rock.
Like one who builds his house on the Rock,
You’ll know the Rock on which His body is built.
And by the time you witness and tell your story,
You’ll surely bring out His awesome Glory.
