Tuning:

This is by Apex Praise Band of Apex Church in Dayton, Ohio. This version is far better than the other ones, and this was tabbed by the actual band members. Give (Apex) 5 stars! Instead of C/E and D/F#, you can just play C and D if you want. Only difference is the top string. The first chords add the top string for base. And instead of G/B you can just play G, it's very different playing-wise, but sounds pretty similar. (G replacing G/B):3-2-0-0-2-2 Intro: G – C (x2) Verse 1:

Rock of ^Gages cleft for ^Emme, let me ^Chide^D myself in ^GThee Let the ^Dwater and the ^C/Eblood from Thy ^D/F#wounded side which ^Cflowed G Em C D Be ^Gfor sin the double cure, save from wrath and make me pure!

Verse2: Not the labors of my hands can fulfill thy laws demands Could my zeal no respite know; could my tears forever flow All for sin could not atone; Thou must save and Thou alone Chorus A:

May I ^Emhide myself in ^DThee Would you ^G/Bcover my head in Your ^Cmercies Can Your ^Emgrace come capture ^Dme And make Your ^G/Brighteousness my identi^Cty

Verse3: 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 [chorus A] Verse4: While I draw this fleeting breath, when my eyes shall close in death When I soar to worlds unknown; see Thee on Thy judgement throne Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee Chorus B:

Lord I ^Emhide myself in ^DThee You have ^G/Bcovered my head in Your ^Cmercies Yes Your ^Emgrace has captured ^Dme You've made Your ^G/Brighteousness my ^Cidentity
