Rock of ages   I am tumbling down   Where the roots of trees   Embrace you   I do fall upon my knees   And ask you how   You can just sit there and be      Rock of ages   I am crumbling now   In an avalanche   I'm reaching for the rock of ages   Rock of ages   Rock of ages      Father now I have stepped   Beyond my bounds   Now the pack I wear   It weighs a thousand pounds   It drags me down   Makes me think crazy      Oh my rock of ages   I have gone astray   I heard my brother call   I turned the other way   Now I'm ashamed   To face him      Oh my rock of ages   Rock of ages   Oh my rock of ages   Rock of ages   Reach for the rock of ages   Rock of ages   In the avalanche   In the avalanche   Heavy rock   And I reach for the rock   I reach for the rock   In the avalanche it falls   I reach for the rock   I reach for the rock   I reach for the rock   In the avalanche   In the avalanche   Heavy rock   Heavy rock   Such a heavy rock
