Check out this one-man show that shines. Listen to this man’s stunning ‘Rock of Ages’ hymn cover.
As he begins confidently, we see a man in four different pictures singing various parts to the same song. His sweatshirt says the name David Wesley. He does this cover completely a capella as a one-man band. His “oh’s” are in perfect harmony in the background, carrying the song. It is really impressive to think about how many moving pieces this man has worked on to create this stunning piece for this classic hymn.
His verses and choruses are each special with a personalized flare. Suddenly he sings the third verse with new visuals of harmonizing and he keeps the listener captivated. We always wonder what he is going to do next. David’s tone is beautiful and pure. He has such a clean and crisp voice that is easy to listen to. The vocals in this video are high-level and so worshipful. They take our minds and hearts to a place of worship in the Rock, who is Jesus. We can be assured that this timeless hymn speaks about the consistency and the strong foundation that we have in Christ. He is good, and He loves us.
This beautiful hymn begins and ends with the statement:
‘Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee.’
When we ponder Jesus being the Rock of ages, He has always been the foundation and secure place to build our lives on. We are safe with Him. We can hide ourselves in Him and find rest from this difficult world full of trials and sin. How is Jesus your Rock? As you listen to David’s creative take on this timeless song, reflect on how Christ has sustained you and rest in Him today, knowing that He is your safe place.
