John P. Kee - He's My Rock Lyrics

He's My Rock is a gospel choir song about leaning on God in a storm. The chorus says that He is the rock to lean on and the shelter in the time of storm, that the singer is not worried because of leaning on His arms, and shouts hallelujah. The verse adds that winds may blow but He holds fast, and that storms may rise but they will not last.

A vamp splits the choir parts: the sopranos sing that they are leaning on the rock, the altos sing the name of Jesus, the tenors sing that He is the rock, and everyone joins on the words "my rock." The themes follow Psalm 18:2 on the Lord as rock and fortress, Matthew 7:24-25 on the house built on the rock that stands in the storm, and Isaiah 26:4 on the Lord God as an everlasting rock. The simple chorus and layered choir parts give the song a confident, lively tone that suits a choir and congregation singing together.
