Name: Be My Rock (Psalm 71)
Duration: P00H03M57S
Description: This was originally recorded on a stairway in my mother and father-in-laws house. I had an H4 recorder, my guitar, and the Bible. I wanted something folkish and moving. I used my foot to thump and, on the original, the sound was kind of impressively bass-ish. I re-recorded it about 2 years later, added some piano and banjo sound, as well as real bass drum thump.

lyrics

In You, oh Lord, I take refuge.
Let me not be put to shame.
Rescue me, deliver me.
Turn Your ear to me and save me.
Be my rock, be my rock, be my rock, be my rock.

Your righteousness it reaches to the skies.
You who have done great things.
Who, oh God, who is like You.
Though I've seen troubles, many and bitter,
Who will restore my life again.
Be my rock, be my rock, be my rock, be my rock.

In You, oh Lord, I take refuge.
Let me not be put to shame.
Rescue me, deliver me.
Turn Your ear to me and save me.
Be my rock, be my rock, be my rock, be my rock.

But as for me, I will have hope,
I will bring praise to You more and more.
My mouth will tell of your righteousness,
of Your salvation all day long.
Be my rock, be my rock, be my rock, be my rock.

Your righteousness it reaches to the skies.
You who have done great things.
Who, oh God, who is like You.
Though I've seen troubles, many and bitter,
Who will restore my life again.
Be my rock, be my rock, be my rock, be my rock.

But as for me, I will have hope,
I will bring praise to You more and more.
My mouth will sing of your righteousness,
of Your salvation all day long.
Be my rock, be my rock, be my rock, be my rock.

My life changed dramatically in 1998 when I handed my life to God. My wife, Joy, and I have three great kids. I currently lead worship at the United Methodist Church in Waterford, MI. I also teach middle and high school and enjoy games and exercise. I've been writing music since I was about 11. I started writing worship songs 18 years ago and have put together three albums. Hope you enjoy! ... more
