Verse 1
When the night grows heavy and the world unsure,
I lift my eyes to the hills, to the steadfast cure.
From the ends of the earth I call Your name,
A voice of trouble, yet Your mercy remains the same.
Chorus
Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I,
A shelter in the storm, a banner in the sky.
From the depths I cry, You answer from Your throne,
In Your grace I find my home—You are my refuge, You are my own.
Verse 2
When my heart is overwhelmed, You guide my prayer,
To the quiet of Your wings, I find release there.
I will sing of Your steadfast love and might,
For Your fortress stands forever, day and night.
Bridge
Hear my cry, O God, to You I come,
The Rock of ages, firm and strong.
I will remember the ancient paths I’ve known,
Your lovingkindness like a river flowin’ on.
Chorus
Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I,
A shelter in the storm, a banner in the sky.
From the depths I cry, You answer from Your throne,
In Your grace I find my home—You are my refuge, You are my own.
Verse 3 (Uplifting, Graceful Yet Demanding)
Uphold me with Your righteous right hand,
Teach me to walk in trust across the land.
Though foes surround, Your truth remains my shield,
Your peace a mighty fortress, softly yet all‑reveal.
Final Chorus
You are the Rock, the One who never moves,
A refuge for the weary, a voice that proves.
When I am weak, Your strength is light on my way,
I cling to You, Almighty, every single day.
Coda
Psalm 61, verses two to four—let this be my heart’s refrain:
From the end of earth I cry to You, O Lord; to the Rock that’s higher I cling,
For You have sheltered me in grace and truth, forever I will sing.
