Scripture Says, a UK-based vocal group known for creating faith-filled acappella music rooted in Scripture, have released their song ‘Jesus Is A Rock’.
The group’s sound brings together contemporary gospel and African gospel influences, shaped by their faith, culture and love for harmonies. With ‘Jesus Is A Rock’, they take inspiration from the well-known spiritual hymn ‘Jesus Is a Rock in a Weary Land’, giving it a fresh expression while still holding on to the heart of the message.
This version carries an African flavour, with different languages and sounds coming together to declare one truth, that Jesus is our firm foundation. The song includes Ndebele/Zulu and Shona phrases such as “Inkosi lidwala lam’”, meaning “The Lord is my rock”, and “Jesu idombo”, meaning “Jesus is a rock”.
At the centre of the song is a simple but powerful declaration. No matter what life brings, Jesus remains our strength, our safety and the rock we can stand on.
For a song built around voice, faith and culture, ‘Jesus Is A Rock’ carries both beauty and depth. It is worship, but also a reminder. In a weary land, Jesus is still the rock.
‘Jesus Is A Rock’ by Scripture Says is out now on YouTube and streaming platforms.
