Convinced as a sinner, to Jesus I come Informed by the gospel for such there is room; Overwhelmed with sorrows for sin will I cry Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Blessed be Jesus for answering prayer And raising my soul from the pit of despair In every new trial, to him will I cry Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. When sorely afflicted and ready to faint, Before my Redeemer I'll spread my complaint; 'Mid storms and distresses my soul shall rely On Jesus, the rock that is higher than I.
