CAPO 4
Intro: C G C G G/B Em
C G C G
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
G/B Em
let me hide myself in thee;
D/F# C
let the water and the blood,
D/F# C
from thy wounded side which flowed,
C G C G
be of sin the double cure;
G/B Em C
save from wrath and make me pure
C G C G
Not the labors of my hands
G G/B Em
can fulfill thy law's demands;
D/F# C
could my zeal no respite know,
D/F# C
could my tears forever flow,
C G C G
these for sin could not atone;
G G/B Em C
thou must save, and thou alone
C G C G
Nothing in my hand I bring,
G/B Em
simply to the cross I cling;
D/F# C
naked, come to thee for dress;
D/F# C
helpless, look to thee for grace;
C
foul, I to the fountain fly;
G/B Em
wash me, Savior, or I die
G G/B Em
Wash me, Savior, or I die
G G/B Em C
Wash me, Savior, or I die
C G C G
While I draw this fleeting breath,
G/B Em
when mine eyes shall close in death,
D/F# C
when I rise to worlds unknown,
D/F# C
and behold thee on thy throne,
C G C G
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
G/B Em
let me hide myself in thee
G/B Em
Let me hide myself in thee
G/B Em
Let me hide myself in thee
