I am Job lying helpless
Suffering loss but not hopeless
I am David crying, “Mercy, Lord on me”
I am Elijah in a cave
Dreading the light of day
I am Daniel humbly bowed faithfully
I am Paul in a prison
Lifting praises to heaven
I am John cast out but not down
I am Moses seeking shelter
In the cleft of the Rock
Here I am, Lord
Hide me again
I finally made it to the cleft of the Rock
I am glad, for I could no longer stand
Many times I will struggle to reach that old Rock
But He will hide me again and again
Now I am safe from the stranger
Safe from the danger
That would try to do me great harm
I am wrapped up and warm
In the love of my Master
I am resting while I lean on His arms
So I stay a little longer
Until I am stronger
When all of my healing is done
The ravens will feed me
And His hand will keep me
And hide me until I can go on
I finally made it to the cleft of the Rock
I am glad, for I could no longer stand
Many times I will struggle to reach that old Rock
But He will hide me again and again
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the Rock
That shadows a dry thirsty land
He hideth my life in the depths of His love
And He will hide me again and again
