The Rock That Is Higher Than I

Sample (mp3)
 

I borrowed some words from two classic hymns to frame my song about being trapped by materialism and forgetting what is really important.

Troublesome times are here,
Tearing my soul apart
The freedom that I hold dear
Is breaking my heart
Out of this prison cell
I wish I could fly
On the wings of the morning I壇 sail
To the Rock that is higher than I.

I have lived so selfishly
I致e been such a fool
I have lived for the things that I want
Instead of for You.
Out of this prison cell
I wish I could fly
Like a ray of  Your holy light
To the Rock that is higher than I.

And I know there is peace to be found
I know there is grace
When I知 walking by your side
Right here in this place
So in your mercy I will remain
And look to the sky
And I値l long for the day I知 home
In the Rock that is higher than I.

And I know there is peace to be found
I know there is grace
When I知 walking by your side
Right here in this place
So in your mercy I will remain
And look to the sky
And I値l long for the day I知 home
In the Rock that is higher than I.
