Blessed Be My Rock | Psalm 18 Celebration Blues Song

Details

Description

🎶 Psalm 18 is David’s blues of deliverance — a raw, triumphant song born when the LORD rescued him from the hand of all his enemies, including Saul. It’s not just a psalm; it’s a testimony of God’s fierce protection, His mighty intervention, and the personal relationship David treasured.

In these verses, we see a God who shakes the earth to defend His child, who parts the seas, rides on the wind, and crushes enemies underfoot. But the victory isn’t just military — it’s deeply personal: “Your gentleness has made me great.” This balance of overwhelming power and tender care is the heartbeat of Psalm 18.

Our song "Blessed Be My Rock" takes the grit and joy of that victory and sets it in a blues groove — a celebration of the God who delivers, the God who still lights our lamps, and the God who will forever be our fortress.

🎶 Lyrics – Blessed Be My Rock

[🎸 Slow groove, deep blues shuffle in E — build with triumphant drive]

Verse 1
I was bound in the cords of death,
Floods of trouble rollin’ in on me.
The snares of the grave pulled tight,
Darkness was all I could see.
But I called on Yahweh in my distress,
He heard my cry from His holy place—
The earth shook, mountains trembled,
When my God came runnin’ to save.

Chorus
Blessed be my Rock, Yahweh lives!
Exalted be the God who gives salvation.
Shield and horn, fortress strong—
Deliverer through every generation.

Verse 2
Smoke rose from His nostrils,
Fire poured from His holy mouth.
He rode on the wings of the wind,
Thunder rolled from the skies above.
Hailstones fell and lightning split the night,
The seas pulled back at His command—
He reached down, took hold of me,
Pulled me out with His mighty hand.

Verse 3
You lit my lamp in the midnight hour,
Turned my darkness into blazing day.
By You I can run through a troop, Lord,
By my God, I leap over a wall in my way.
Your way is perfect, Your word is true,
You train my hands for the battle line—
Your gentleness has made me great,
Your salvation forever mine.

Chorus
Blessed be my Rock, Yahweh lives!
Exalted be the God who gives salvation.
Shield and horn, fortress strong—
Deliverer through every generation.

Bridge [🎸 Call & response guitar licks]
Foreigners fade away, they come trembling down,
You made me the head of nations,
Put a victory crown.
The violent man’s behind me,
My enemies in retreat—
Dust in the wind, Lord,
Crushed beneath my feet.

Verse 4
I’ll praise You among the nations, Lord,
Sing Your name for the world to see.
You show mercy to Your anointed one,
To David and his seed eternally.
From the valley of danger to the high place of joy,
You’ve been my refuge, my mighty song—
And now I’ll play these blues of victory,
‘Cause in You I’m forever strong.

Outro Chorus
Blessed be my Rock, Yahweh lives!
(Yeah, my Rock lives…)
Exalted be the God who gives salvation.
Shield and horn, fortress strong—
Deliverer through every generation.
