About this Hymn
This hymn is a meditation on the final words of Psalm 19: "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer" (Ps. 19:14). He is our greatest treasure, strong defender, and gracious Savior. How could we not want to live every day for his glory? – Bob Kauflin
Lyrics
Verse 1
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer, greatest treasure of my longing soul, my God, like you there is no other; true delight is found in you alone. Your grace, a well too deep to fathom; your love exceeds the heavens' reach; your truth, a fount of perfect wisdom, my highest good, and my unending need.
Verse 2
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer, strong Defender of my weary heart, my sword to fight the cruel deceiver, and my shield against his hateful darts. My song when enemies surround me, my hope when tides of sorrow rise, my joy when trials are abounding, your faithfulness, my refuge in the night.
Verse 3
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer, gracious Savior of my ruined life; my guilt and cross laid on your shoulders; in my place you suffered, bled, and died. You rose— the grave and death are conquered! You broke my bonds of sin and shame! O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer, may all my days bring glory to your name.
