Lead Me To That Rock
Stephen Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh lead me, yes Lord lead me
Why don't you lead me to that Rock that is higher than I
Thou hast been a shelter for me
Well if you go down in yonder fold and search among the sheep
My brother thou hast been a shelter for me
Well you'll find Him there so I am told with those He loves to keep
If you'll go in to the wilderness where dying ones are lost
My brother thou hast been a shelter for me
Well you'll find Him there to heal and bless no matter what the cost
My brother thou hast been a shelter for me
The lyrics of Stephen Hill's song "Lead Me To That Rock" are an invitation to God to lead the singer to a higher rock, a place of safety from the troubles of life. The first stanza asks God to lead the singer to a higher rock that is greater than himself. The second stanza describes how if one goes looking for God, they can find him in the midst of the flock, staying close to those he loves. This is a metaphorical way of saying that if one keeps close to God, he will act as a protector and guide, keeping one safe from harm. The third stanza takes this metaphor further, by saying that if one searches for God even in the wilderness where dying ones are lost, one can still find Him there to heal and bless, no matter what the cost. This reinforces the idea that God is willing to go to great lengths to provide for and protect his followers.
Overall, "Lead Me To That Rock" is a song about finding refuge in God, at times of trouble and difficulties. It's a call to trust in Him and to give oneself over to Him fully. The lyrics offer a vision of God as a loving and protective savior who is always there for His followers, no matter where they are and what they're going through.

Why don't you lead me to that Rock that is higher than I
Oh Lord, show me the way to the abode that is higher than me
Oh lead me, yes Lord lead me
Guide me with your divine grace, O Lord
Thou hast been a shelter for me
You have been a protector and a place of refuge for me
Well if you go down in yonder fold and search among the sheep
If you go down among the believers and search for the truth
My brother thou hast been a shelter for me
You have been a protector and a confidant for me, my brother
Well you'll find Him there so I am told with those He loves to keep
You will find Him among those He cherishes and guards, as I have been told
If you'll go in to the wilderness where dying ones are lost
If you venture into the desolate and hopeless regions of life
Well you'll find Him there to heal and bless no matter what the cost
You will find Him there to provide healing and blessing, regardless of the sacrifice

IF THOU SHALT CONFESS WITH THY MOUTH THE LORD JESUS & SHALT BELIEVE IN THINE HEART THAT GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, THOU SHALT BE SAVED. ------ROMANS 10:9, THE HOLY BIBLE, KJV. FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. -----JOHN 3:16, KJV.

He just has the spirit of the Lord. If he were able to "let loose," the whole world would be stirred and lifted up into salvation. Thank you, Lord.
