It's another lovely time and I am excited to share my entry for hiveopenmic week 274. The theme is mermaid. Special thanks to the management and the chosen artist for this edition.
According to Merriam-Webster dictionary defines mermaid as a fabled marine creature with the head and upper body of a woman and the tail of a fish.
Truly I was confused and lack what to sing initially but after a tough thinking moment I had to define this based on my understanding and Since mermaid entails a creature that is aquatic animal with both human and fishlike structure. This can be scary to me therefore I need a place where I can hide myself. I saw this song as a response to the scary situation of this kind of creature, I need a shield and a rock that I can hide myself.
This Song ministers lot to me. I decided to do this cover and hope you'll enjoy it.
1 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.
2 Not the labors of my hands
can fulfill thy law's demands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears forever flow,
all for sin could not atone;
thou must save, and thou alone.
3 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.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
when mine eyes shall close in death,
when I soar to worlds unknown,
see thee on thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee.
