Story behind the song
The right song can bring people together when mere words cannot. This could be a peace song for Jews, Christians, and Black Americans to come together and sing for peace, and invites all to enter into the unity circle of love for God.
Lyrics
E B E B Rock of Ages Let our Song Praise Your saving Power E B E B Thou amidst the raging foes, You were our sheltering tower A B Our sheltering tower. E B A B Rock of Ages let our song, Praise Thy saving power E B A B Thou amidst the raging foes, You’re our sheltering tower E B A B Our sheltering Tower. E C#m A B CH: Furious they assailed us, but thine arm availed us E C#m A B And Thy word broke their sword, when our own strength failed us E C#m A And your Word broke their sword, when our own strength B failed us. E B A B Children of the wanderers, whether free or fettered E B A B Wake the echoes of the songs, where you may be scattered E C#m A B CH: Yours the message cheering, that the time is nearing E C#m A B Which will see all people free, and tyrants disappearing,,,,, CH: Yours the message cheering, that the time is nearing E C#m A B Which will see all people free, and tyrants disappearing CH: Yours the message cheering, that the time is nearing E C#m A B Which will see all people free, and Your love endearing B E Your Love Endearing.
