I am Clinging to the Rock

William Cushing • English

Primary Scripture: Psalm 61:2

Verse 1

I am clinging to the Rock, Tho’ the waves are wild and dark, Tho’ the angry billows o’er me roll; For I can not be afraid, And my heart is undismayed, While the Savior is the anchor of my soul.

Chorus

Yes, I’m clinging to the Rock, I am clinging to the Rock for evermore, And there’s refuge there for me; On the Savior trust, there’s refuge there.

Verse 2

I am clinging to the Rock, Tho’ the way be lone and dark, Tho’ the dreary shadows round me lie; There are gleaming stars that shine O’er this weary path of mine, They will light me into joys that never die.

Chorus

Yes, I’m clinging to the Rock, I am clinging to the Rock for evermore, And there’s refuge there for me; On the Savior trust, there’s refuge there.

Verse 3

I am clinging to the Rock, And I fear no tempest shock, Tho’ the fiery darts of Satan fly; For my feet are standing sure On the Rock that shall endure, When the earth and seas and skies are passed away.

Chorus

Yes, I’m clinging to the Rock, I am clinging to the Rock for evermore, And there’s refuge there for me; On the Savior trust, there’s refuge there.
