Solid Rock
Holding On to the Eternal Rock: Unveiling the Deeper Meaning
Lyrics
Well, I'm hangin' on to a solid rock
Expressing a strong connection to a steadfast foundation or belief.
Made before the foundation of the world
Referring to a foundation created before the world's inception, emphasizing its enduring nature.
And I won't let go, and I can't let go, won't let go
Reiterating the determination to hold onto the solid rock mentioned in line 1.
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more
Emphasizing the persistent commitment to the unyielding foundation; a repetition for emphasis.
For me He was chastised, for me He was hated,
Describing the suffering and sacrifice endured on behalf of the speaker.
For me he was rejected by a world that He created.
Highlighting the irony of rejection by the world that the higher power created.
Nations are angry, cursed are some,
Portraying a world in turmoil, with nations in conflict and some cursed.
People are expecting a false peace to come
Suggesting anticipation of a deceptive peace that may not be genuine.
Well, I'm hangin' on to a solid rock
Repetition of the commitment to the unshakable foundation introduced in line 1.
Made before the foundation of the world
Reaffirming the timeless nature of the solid rock mentioned earlier.
And I won't let go, and I can't let go, won't let go
Repeating the determination to hold onto the steadfast foundation.
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more
Emphasizing the unwavering commitment to the unyielding foundation; a repeated assertion.
It's the ways of the flesh to war against the spirit
Contrasting the conflict between worldly desires and spiritual values.
Twenty-four hours a day you can feel it and you can hear it
Describing the pervasive and constant struggle between the flesh and the spirit.
Using all the devices under the sun.
Referring to the various methods and tools used in the ongoing spiritual battle.
And He never give up 'til the battle's lost or won
Emphasizing the persistence of the spiritual struggle until the ultimate outcome.
Well, I'm hangin' on to a solid rock
Reiterating the strong connection to the unchanging foundation introduced earlier.
Made before the foundation of the world
Reaffirming the enduring nature of the solid rock mentioned in previous lines.
And I won't let go, and I can't let go, won't let go
Repeating the determination to cling to the steadfast foundation.
And I can't let go, won't let go, and I can't let go no more
Emphasizing the unwavering commitment to the unyielding foundation; a repeated assertion.
