Music was founded in 1971 by Chuck Smith Sr. of Calvary Chapel to promote the “Jesus Music” his young hippie followers were writing and singing up and down the California coast. In the early years, Maranatha! Music signed artists because of their passionate profession of faith through music. These songs became the seminal calling card of the worship music genre of that time and belonged to the Maranatha! song catalog. Back then, these songs were on the fringe of what the established church felt was appropriate for church music but they were being sung by millions of young people around the world.

Rock Of My Salvation
Maranatha! Music Lyrics

You are the Rock of my salvation
You are the strength of my life
You are my hope and my inspiration
Lord, unto You will I cry
I believe in You
Believe in You
For Your faithful love to me
You have been my help in time of need
Lord unto You will I cleave
I believe in You
Believe in You
For Your faithful love to me
You have been my help
In time of need
Lord, unto You will I cleave
You are the Rock of my salvation
You are the strength of my life
You are my hope and my inspiration
Lord, unto You will I cry
I believe in You
Believe in You
For Your faithful love to me
You have been my help in time of need
Lord unto You will I cleave
You are the Rock of my salvation
You are the strength of my life

I love maranatha music since when I was 18 yrs. Am 52yrs now. I first heard their music when I was admitted in the hospital and I was 18yrs that time and since then till now their music is the best inspirational motivational music I have ever heard. It is just too natural and edifying to God unlike these new generation Christian music of today.

Im in tears right now, I looked for this song for more 13yrs and I just found it, I heard it at school and it never left me, I never bothered to learn the lyrics, It just played in my head year after year, after i graduated I asked my teachers but no on could help me, all I had were the humming of the song I learnt as a little boy, I always told myself that one day I would find it and it will be the beginning of something great in my life. I will come back here and give a testimony!!! AMEN

Like many who have written the comments I was also like baptized into the Kingdom of God through this song, in 1993. In those days through a tape recorder I don't know how many time i used listen rewinding again and again and how this song use to cut me into pieces and bring deep repentance, worship from the depths of my heart. Whoever written and sung really God' appointed i believe. Thank you Jesus Glory to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ

The reason this for this is because the corporate worship and praise music of this generation was rooted solidly in the Word of God. The Word of God is inherently anointed effective and powerful. THIS is a gross understatement.

Thank you :maranatha,vineyard,integrity, and darlene zschech for keeping it focused on God and NOT the “it just makes me feel good...” movement.

@KingvKing

This song is unlike any ‘secular’ motivational song. I say this in describing that although some secular songs may have meaning and are positive, they remain utterly topical and will never feed the Spirit to Live The Word as a moment to moment Believer. This song is Living Water. This song motivates the Spirit to persevere and The Most Holy One Only Chastens the Godly. HalleluYAH!
