rock of ages

i am getting ready to go to work for the first time since break.  and i am incredibly anxious (prayers appreciated).  i have been dreading this part more than anything since before i left to come back to oregon.  


during my sweet time with Him today, i was listening to this song.  


Rock of Ages by Ascend the Hill


and the part that my heart is crying right now is, 'let me hide myself in thee. thou must save and thou alone.' do you know that feeling?


here is the video:

Lyrics to Rock of Ages :
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, 
let me hide myself in thee; 
let the water and the blood, 
from thy wounded side which flowed, 
be of sin the double cure; 
save from wrath and make me pure

Not the labors of my hands 
can fulfill thy law's demands; 
could my zeal no respite know, 
could my tears forever flow, 
these for sin could not atone; 
thou must save, and thou alone

Nothing in my hand I bring, 
simply to the cross I cling; 
naked, come to thee for dress; 
helpless, look to thee for grace; 
foul, I to the fountain fly; 
wash me, Savior, or I die
Wash me, Savior, or I die
Wash me, Savior, or I die

While I draw this fleeting breath, 
when mine eyes shall close in death, 
when I rise to worlds unknown, 
and behold thee on thy throne, 
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, 
let me hide myself in thee
Let me hide myself in thee
Let me hide myself in thee
