Subject: RE: Lyr Req: My God He Is a Rock
Hey, Joe:
We sing this in our Men's Chorus... at least a version of it. except it is:
Jesus is a rock in a weary land, a weary land, a weary land Jesus is a rock in a weary land, a shelter in the time of storm
And then there is a half spoken section:
Has he ever made a way when you didn't have a dime? Has he ever stepped in just right on time? Has he ever picked you up when you were down? Has he ever placed your feet on solid ground
And then you go into:
Then you know he is a rock in a weary land....
The song ends with the choir singing parts and answering each other, basically singing:
Jesus is a rock, and he is my shelter in the time of storm Yeah!, in a weary land, a shelter in the time of storm
Our Chorus Director grew up in Mississippi and many of the songs we do are remembered from his childhood. Most are different than any texts I find in books..
