And blessed be the rock
And let the God of salvation
Be exalted.
The Lord liveth
And blessed be the rock
And let the God of salvation
Be exalted.
Jesus Christ he dies for me
And he took away my sin
I will live with him for eternity.
The Lord liveth
And blessed be the rock
And let the God of salvation
Be exalted.
The Lord liveth
And blessed be the rock
And let the God of salvation
Be exalted.
The Lord liveth
And blessed be the rock
And let the God of salvation
Be exalted.
The Lord liveth
And blessed be the rock
And let the God of salvation
Be exalted.
(I will upon the Lord)
The lyrics of "I Will Call Upon the Lord" by Keith Lancaster and the Acappella Company are a proclamation of faith in God and his salvation through Jesus Christ. The opening lines refer to God's eternal nature and his role as the foundation of salvation. The repetition of the phrase "And blessed be the rock" emphasizes God's steadfastness and unchanging character, and the call for him to be exalted reinforces his status as the highest authority.
The song then turns to a personal statement of faith, with the declaration that Jesus Christ died for the singer's sins and that they will live with him for eternity. This is a common theme in Christian music, expressing gratitude and reliance on God's grace and sacrifice.
Overall, the song is a simple but powerful expression of worship and belief. It is often used in church services and Christian gatherings as a statement of collective faith and praise.

This brings back memories of chapel at Harding Academy of Memphis in 1996, 1997, 1999, and 2000. I like this better, however, at .75x speed.
