Oh sometimes the shadows are deep
And rough seems the path to the goal
And sorrows sometimes how they sweep
Like tempests and over the soul
Oh then to the rock let me fly (let me fly)
To the rock that is higher than I (higher than I)
Oh then to the rock let me fly (let me fly)
To the rock that is higher than IChorus 1:
Why don't you lead me to the rock that is higher than I?
Oh lead me to the rock, yes lead me to the rock
Why don't you lead me to the rock that is higher than I?
Thou hast been a shelter for me
Well if you go down in yonder fold to search among the sheep
(My brother) Thou hast been a shelter for me
You will find Him there so I am told with those He loves to keep
(My brother) Thou hast been a shelter for me
Chorus 2:
Why don't you lead me to the rock that is higher than I? (Savior lead me
to the rock that is higher than I) (Lead me Lord)
Why don't you lead me to the rock that is higher than I? (Savior lead me
to the rock that is higher than I) (Lead me to the rock)
Why don't you lead me to the rock that is higher than I? (Savior lead me
to the rock that is higher than I) (Higher than I)
Thou hast been a shelter for me
Repeat Chorus 1
If you'll go into the wilderness where dying ones are lost
(My brother) Thou hast been a shelter for me
You will find Him there to heal and bless no matter what the cost
(My brother) Thou hast been a shelter for me
Repeat Chorus 2 |
