[Intro — Low thunder drum, lone harmonica, Hammond B3 rising] [Bubba — spoken, male] David knew something about trouble. He knew something about being delivered, too. Now listen to this. [Verse 1 — Bubba, male] I love You, Lord, You're the strength in my bones, The rock beneath me when I'm far from home. My fortress, my shelter, my steady ground, When the whole world shakes, You won't let me down. I called Your name when the waters rose, When fear wrapped tight and the cold wind blew. Out of that darkness, You heard my cry, And mercy came rolling out of the sky. [Pre-Chorus — Darlene, female] When my voice was small and the night was wide, You heard me calling from the other side. [Chorus — Bubba and Darlene] You're my rock, my rescue, my hiding place, The strength in my steps, the light on my face! When the river runs high and the mountains move, I'm standing on the love that brought me through. Oh, I called, and You heard, and You made a way, My rock, my rescue, yesterday and today! [Verse 2 — Darlene, female] The earth shook hard and the heavens bowed, Thunder spoke through the rolling clouds. You reached from above through the deepest sea, Pulled me from waters too strong for me. You brought me out where the sky stretched wide, Set my feet on a place where my soul could rise. Not by my power, not by my name, But by Your kindness, I'll sing the same. [Chorus — Bubba and Darlene] You're my rock, my rescue, my hiding place, The strength in my steps, the light on my face! When the river runs high and the mountains move, I'm standing on the love that brought me through. Oh, I called, and You heard, and You made a way, My rock, my rescue, yesterday and today! [Instrumental — Electric guitar and tenor sax trade fiery solos] [Harmonica break — Train-like rhythm; handclaps join] [Verse 3 — Bubba, male] You light my lamp when the night gets long, Turn these shaky knees into legs made strong. You make my feet like the mountain deer, Give me a steady heart instead of fear. With You I can run through a mighty crowd, With You I can clear that towering wall. Your way is perfect, Your promise is true, There's no other rock, Lord, none but You. [Bridge — Quiet piano, Darlene, female] You stoop to lift the weary soul, You make the broken spirit whole. Your faithful love has carried me, And I will praise You gratefully. [Bubba — spoken, male] Every mile. Every mountain. Every time I thought I couldn't go on. [Final Chorus — Full gospel choir, joyous duet] You're my rock, my rescue, my hiding place, The strength in my steps, the light on my face! Let the valleys hear and the nations know, The Lord is living, and His mercies flow! Oh, I called, and You heard, and You made a way, My rock, my rescue, forever I'll praise! [Outro — Darlene, female] The Lord lives! Blessed be my Rock! [Bubba — spoken, male] Now that's a song worth singing. [End — Band hits, harmonica flourish, organ resolves]
