Rock of Ages' Classic Hymn by Katie Peterson
In this beautiful performance, Katie Peterson sings the classic hymn ‘Rock of Ages.’
“Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood, from Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure, save me from its guilt and power.
Nothing in my hands I bring, simply to Thy 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.”
“Decided to learn my first song on the baritone ukulele this evening and this hymn has been on my heart and mind all week long,” Katie writes about the video on her YouTube page.
Katie Petersen is an award-winning fiddler who plays Americana music with her family in Branson, MO. She is very talented, and her voice is so wonderful to listen to.

Psalm 18:1-3
1 I love you, Lord, my strength. 2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. 3 I called to the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and I have been saved from my enemies.
Deuteronomy 32:4
The Rock! His work is perfect, for all His ways are just; a God of faithfulness and without injustice, righteous and upright is He.
