A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
A wonderful Savior to me;
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
Where rivers of pleasure I see.
A wonderful Savior to me;
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
Where rivers of pleasure I see.
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock
That shadows a dry, thirsty land;
He hideth my life in the depths of His love,
And covers me there with His hand,
And covers me there with His hand.
That shadows a dry, thirsty land;
He hideth my life in the depths of His love,
And covers me there with His hand,
And covers me there with His hand.

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
He taketh my burden away;
He holdeth me up and I shall not be moved,
He giveth me strength as my day.
He taketh my burden away;
He holdeth me up and I shall not be moved,
He giveth me strength as my day.

With numberless blessings each moment He crowns,
And, filled with His fulness divine,
I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God,
For such a Redeemer as mine!
And, filled with His fulness divine,
I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God,
For such a Redeemer as mine!

When clothed in His brightness, transported I rise
To meet Him in clouds of the sky,
His perfect salvation, His wonderful love,
I’ll shout with the millions on high.
To meet Him in clouds of the sky,
His perfect salvation, His wonderful love,
I’ll shout with the millions on high.

God has been so gracious to me, even in troublesome times in my country here: Nigeria. this is the song to keep afloat in dark and troubled waters any moment in time. Dear Lord JESUS, You are our shelter in the time of storm. Thank you.

HIS song will be with me in the dry land.

This my favorite hymn, though I love every hymn written by these wonderful brothers and sisters as they were and are still inspired by our Wonderful Lord and Savior who loves us without measure.
He died for a sinner such as I, and tears form in my eyes, whenever I listen to these precious gospel hymns. Glory to GOD! He is Worthy of praise and adoration.

This song came to mind as my first thought this morning and played it on my small harp. I looked up the lyrics and found all these wonderful comments from so many of my brothers and sisters in the Lord all over the world. It is impossible to be alone when we are hidden in Christ. We are truly one heart and mind in Him. It seems as though we all have one foot in heaven praising for his wonderful provision, and one foot on earth giving glory to Jesus our Lord.

What a wonderful thought, "We are like a precious pearl, a precious treasure, hidden in the Lord."

As I was eating breakfast this morning I thought I would like to hear a hymn from when I was a boy. This was a wonderful one to find. We have been in the midst of friends and family going through illness and emotional distress. It is good to remember we are hidden in the cleft by the Lord. It is also so good to see how my brothers and sisters across the world have been blessed too.

As I stood at my kitchen sink and washed a few dishes. My mind went back to my childhood days in my native Island of Jamaica. I remember we sang this song in church. I began to look at my life from where the Lord has brought me from to where my life is today. I can truly say that God has preserved my life and now I just live to give Him praise for He has surely kept me in the cleft of the rock. Thank You Jesus.

This song came from my depths as I pondered how I will replace my car following an accident. He hideth my life in the depths of His love and covers me there with is hand. Amen, Lord Jesus.
