“Compact Rock of
my preservation”
Translation:
Compact
Rock of my preservation
as
the sin anguishes me
let
me recline on Your truthfulness
let
me rest in Your sight
where
the blood bled by You
becomes
the source for Life
Jesus
not my own power
not
the work completed by me
not
the offering that I bring
not
the tears that I drop
while
I cry the whole night
You
alone can save
Once
the hour sounds
that
the body begins to die
as my soul will sever ties
with this world
Read
rather: May my Advocate fix my case
climbing up unto the Judges
throne
Read
rather: before the Judges throne
Rock
of Ages, in Your lap
hide
my soul before death.
…..
Theologically this is the immortality of
the soul doctrine which is not in Adventism because it is not in the Bible.
Personal Comment: The
song is majestic and uplifting and devotional. It is a pleasure to listen to
and invites the heart to join in worship.
