This Rock
Finding Strength, Courage, Wisdom, and Freedom: The Rock Within
Lyrics
Jesus, give me strength
Asking for strength from Jesus to emulate his ways of living.
To walk as you would walk
Seeking the ability to live in a manner similar to Jesus.
To travel down a thousand roads
Expressing a desire to traverse various paths without abandoning principles.
And never leave this rock
Aspire to stay grounded and not be swayed from foundational beliefs.
To look on past a million beaches
Wanting to overlook numerous experiences without being affected.
And never give them thought
To not dwell on or be influenced by past encounters.
Jesus, give me strength
Repeated plea for strength to mirror Jesus' actions.
To walk as you would walk
Reiterating the desire to live according to Jesus' example.
Jesus, give me courage
Requesting courage to tread paths that are less traveled by others.
To go where few would tread
To willingly go where most people avoid or fear.
To find myself surrounded
To find oneself amidst both the living and the deceased.
By living and the dead
To be a source of guidance in challenging situations.
To be a light in darkness
To serve as a beacon of hope in difficult times.
In everything that's said
Desire to embody positivity in communication and actions.
Jesus, give me courage
Repeated plea for courage to venture into unfamiliar territories.
To go where few would tread
Emphasizing the need to step into unconventional spaces.
Jesus, give me wisdom
Requesting wisdom to discern right from wrong.
To know the right and wrong
To align with Jesus' teachings without contradiction.
To never contradict your ways
Choosing not to follow the majority but to adhere to principles.
Or travel with the throng
Opting for the less taken path that corresponds with beliefs.
To go along the narrow path
Preferential inclination towards a path aligned with personal beliefs.
The place where I belong
Acknowledging the comfort in following one's beliefs.
Jesus, give me wisdom
Reiterating the plea for wisdom in distinguishing right and wrong.
To know the right and wrong
Reemphasizing the importance of discerning morally.
Jesus, give me freedom
Asking for the freedom obtained through Jesus' sacrifice.
Purchased by your blood
The freedom attained through Jesus' sacrificial act.
All of my wrongdoings
Recognition of personal wrongdoings.
Of them you say "Enough!"
Belief in Jesus' forgiveness despite one's faults.
And throw them into who-knows-where
Metaphorically seeking cleansing of personal vices.
Clean me from my lusts
Desiring purification from personal desires or sins.
Jesus, give me freedom
Repeated plea for the freedom through Jesus' sacrifice.
Purchased by your blood
Reiteration of the freedom attained through Jesus' sacrifice.
Purchased by your blood
Restating the significance of freedom through Jesus' sacrifice.
Oh oh
Expressing emotions or emphasis through vocal sounds.
Oh oh
Continuation of emotional expression or emphasis through vocal sounds.
