Convinced as a sinner, to Jesus I come
Informed by the gospel for such there is room;
Overwhelmed with sorrows for sin will I cry
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
Blessed be Jesus for answering prayer
And raising my soul from the pit of despair
In every new trial, to him will I cry
Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
When sorely afflicted and ready to faint,
Before my Redeemer I'll spread my complaint;
'Mid storms and distresses my soul shall rely
On Jesus, the rock that is higher than I.
