Story Behind The Song
Reading Deuteronomy one day this song jumped out at me. The song is biblically accurate, perhaps more understandable than King James language.
Song Description
Moses was instructed to teach God's people his laws so they would understand He is their rock. Moses did as he was told, though there was constant tension with the people believing/not believing. God gave them an option, that was to let their other, and new, Gods help them and see if they like the results. They will be looking for their rock...

Lyrics
He Is The Rock Penny Gottsche M108 3:23
intro - He Is The Rock Just and right is He
V1a- The Lord appeared in a pillar of a cloud with a
message to Moses , a message to Moses .
Teach the words of this song to my people Israel,
they and all their sons, they and all their sons, for they'll
V1b- break my covenants and serve other gods,
all johnny-come-latelys, all johnny-come-latelys.
Let them rise up and help you
can they rise up and help yo- ou?
Where is your rock now?
Chorus- He is the Rock, His work is perfect
and all His ways are judgement.
A God of truth and without i- iniquity
Just and right is he
V2a- Moses spoke to the Levites and elders of all tribes, you
rebels before me, you rebels before me.
You'll turn away from God for devil's sacrifice,
Oh vanity, oh vanity
V2b- Ahead lies the promised land,
flowing with milk and honey
and it won't be enough, it won't be enough.
Let your new gods help you
can they rise up and help yo- ou
Where is your rock now?
Chorus- He Is The Rock, His work is perfect
and all His ways are judgement.
A God of truth and without i- iniquity
Just and right is He
He Is The Rock, Just and right is He
