This powerful cover of 'Rock Of Ages' by Amy Grant and Vince Gill is a wonderful throwback to simpler times. What a treat!
Augustus Toplady wrote ‘Rock of Ages’ in the 1760s. He wrote other hymns, too, but ‘Rock of Ages’ is the most well-known.

The hymn is about God being immovable and constant, like a rock, in our lives. These lyrics remind us of who God really is.
“Rock Of ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in thee”
Many remember this song from childhood or an older relative who enjoyed it. The song is one of the more popular hymns enjoyed by many generations over the years.
There are quite a few comments on YouTube mentioning how this song reminds them of singing with loved ones in the past. This comment, “Grandma I sure wish you was here we could sing together like we did when I was a little girl” is lovely and so many can relate to singing this hymn and others as children with their grandparents or older relatives.
