"Rock of ages, still rollin' / Keep a-rollin', rock of ages"
đź“– KJV VIEWPOINT:
This is the most spiritually serious offense in the song.
“Rock of Ages” is a title historically and biblically associated with Jesus Christ, the firm foundation, the everlasting Rock.
“And did all drink the same spiritual drink:
for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.” — 1 Corinthians 10:4
To apply this sacred title to a rock band or rock music itself is blasphemous and misleading.
The lyrics mock sacred language, replacing Jesus the Rock with carnal sound and spectacle.
🎶 LYRIC:
"We got the power / Got the glory / Just say you need it / And if you need it..."
đź“– KJV VIEWPOINT:
This implies self-deified power — “we got the glory.”
Scripture says:
“Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory...” — 1 Chronicles 29:11
“My glory will I not give to another.” — Isaiah 42:8
Claiming glory is the sin of Lucifer:
“I will ascend... I will be like the most High.” — Isaiah 14:13-14
🎶 LYRIC:
"Do you believe it?"
đź“– KJV VIEWPOINT:
A mocking question.
The true Gospel asks this with holy reverence, not with sarcasm or vanity.
“Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” — John 11:25
❌ FINAL JUDGMENT:
The song “Rock of Ages” by Def Leppard is spiritually profane, taking a holy name (Rock of Ages, i.e., Christ)
and applying it to:
fleshly music
chaos
pride
and lust.
It promotes:
Carnality over Christ
Emotion over discipline
Glory to man, not to God
Mockery of sacred terminology
It is the spirit of this world, which is anti-Christ at the root.
“If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” — 1 John 2:15
“Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord...” — 2 Corinthians 6:17
âś… THE TRUE ROCK OF AGES:
“Lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” — Psalm 61:2
“He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved.” — Psalm 62:2
Reject the counterfeit rock.
Cling to the Cornerstone.
PROMPT:
Please write bible-based lyrics to a song titled "THE Rock of Ages" that is a parody of the song "Rock of Ages" by the band Def Leppard
