O Lord, My Rock and My Redeemer - Sovereign Grace

The first time I heard this song was on the T4G Live IV album. The song lyrics read like a psalm, using wonderful biblical words for God like Rock, Redeemer, and Strong Defender; it’s as if the writer was trying to capture the great confidence that David drew from understanding that he serves an Almighty God. That’s a reminder that I can always use; what a faithful God, the God of all might and strength, that we serve!


Lyrics

O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer
Greatest treasure of my longing soul
My God, like You there is no other
True delight is found in You alone
Your grace, a well too deep to fathom
Your love exceeds the heavens’ reach
Your truth, a fount of perfect wisdom
My highest good and my unending need

O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer
Strong defender of my weary heart
My sword to fight the cruel deceiver
And my shield against his hateful darts
My song when enemies surround me
My hope when tides of sorrow rise
My joy when trials are abounding
Your faithfulness, my refuge in the night

O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer
Gracious Savior of my ruined life
My guilt and cross laid on Your shoulders
In my place You suffered bled and died
You rose, the grave and death are conquered
You broke my bonds of sin and shame
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer
May all my days bring glory to Your Name
