A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
A wonderful Savior to me;
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
Where rivers of pleasure I see.
A wonderful Savior to me;
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
Where rivers of pleasure I see.
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 covers me there with His hand,
And covers me there with His hand.
That shadows a dry, thirsty land;
He hideth my life in the depths of His love,
And covers me there with His hand,
And covers me there with His hand.

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
He taketh my burden away;
He holdeth me up and I shall not be moved,
He giveth me strength as my day.
He taketh my burden away;
He holdeth me up and I shall not be moved,
He giveth me strength as my day.

With numberless blessings each moment He crowns,
And, filled with His fulness divine,
I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God,
For such a Redeemer as mine!
And, filled with His fulness divine,
I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God,
For such a Redeemer as mine!

When clothed in His brightness, transported I rise
To meet Him in clouds of the sky,
His perfect salvation, His wonderful love,
I’ll shout with the millions on high.
To meet Him in clouds of the sky,

I still like this hymn of adoration to my protecting saviour. Some time ago I read the following modern hymn.....
Jesus in the Father's Name
From the realm of Heaven came
To this world of sin and shame
And offered love that will never die.
Took on our humanity
Paid the price to set us free
Paved the way to victory
For on the cross He was lifted high!

This hymn is filled with the love of Christ, a wonderful Christ exalting work. It could only be written by someone who loved Him deeply.

I like this hymn. The psalmist writes 'lead me to the rock that is higher than I'. We all need protecting from difficulty at times, and the protection may come from a rock shielding us from the heat of a battle.
The Lord Jesus is THE rock who is higher (in Heaven) than any of us. He alone can protect us from the burden and consequences of our sin, as Saviour of His people. This hymn speaks much of how wonderful the Lord Jesus is. He can be our salvation rock, higher than we are, from the guilt and punishment of our sin if we repent and believe the gospel.
To God be the glory, great things He has done!

I love this hymn very much, both its words and its tune. It touches a chord in my soul that, like electricity, connects me to that wonderful world beyond and fills me with a refreshing sense of the kingdom to which I truly belong. O, how wonderful is our Savior and Lord! It is truly amazing that the song was written by this wonderful woman so long ago in Connecticut, USA and I, living in Borneo, learnt it from a YouTube video by the Bessy Choir from North East India! How wonderful is our Savior!

This song makes me to remember the time I was involved in a road accident which claimed many lives. By the grace of God I survived.
Since that day, I am serving God through the NGO, The William Stewart Hope for the Hopeless Foundation - Malawi. He really hideth our souls.
God bless you all as you serve God in different ways!
