Here's an uptempo reggae song that may be a version of "Lead Me To The Rock":

Hear My Cry Oh Lord
(composer ?)

Hear my cry O lord
Attend unto my prayer
From the ends of the earth will I cry unto thee
And when my heart is overwhelmed
Lead me to the rock
That is higher that (2)
For thou has been a shelter unto me
A high tower Lord against the enemy

The words to Providence's version of "Hear My Cry Oh Lord" are almost exactly the same as those given above:

Hear my cry Oh Lord
Attend unto my prayer
From the ends of the earth will I cry unto thee
When my heart is overwhelmed
Lead me to the rock
That is higher than I
That is higher than I

For Thou has been a shelter for me
And a strong tower from the enemy
When my heart is overwhelmed
Lead me to the rock
That is higher than I
That is higher than I

Marva Providence style of singing the song includes lining certain verses (singing part of one line and the choir (and sometimes she singing with the choir) finishing that line. Providence also adds some interjections such as the shout that she makes before the song begins. She also adds exclamations to certain lines such as "Jesus" and "Oh Lord".

My daughter introduced me to Providence's version of " Hear My Cry Oh Lord" about 4 years ago when she returned from a trip to Jamaica . She has a dancehall reggae CD with this song as well as a remix of this song that is performed by a male singer whose name I don't know.

My daughter said that this song was greeted with a great deal of enthusiasm when it was played at a Jamaican nightclub (frequented by Black people who were mostly in their 20s and 30s).   If I understood her correctly, people danced to this song (meaning, performed secular dances). However, it is probably also sung in churches..
