Rock of Ages - James Ward version (rerecorded)

Rerecorded this for someone who wanted a cleaner version. Did some iMovie editing for effect. Thanks for people who commented. Realize I should probably be more proactive with this channel. For questions/comments email me at [e-mail]

I can hardly say how much this video touches my heart. I am thankful beyond words for it. Both the original recording and the newly recorded version are just beautiful! I love both of them! I have listened to your original recording so many times since I found it and it helps me every single time. I was so happy to discover the new one! It’s wonderful!! Both of them are so worshipful, so sincere, and so heartfelt. What a beautiful job you’ve done with this song. Bless your heart…thanks!!

You're a blessing Mike...and you are safe in the cleft of the ROCK!!!

[@PilgrimLJC]

I "accidentally" stumbled across your new version today. I've been listening to the older one for years. Love them both. I sort of like your mumbling at the end of the first one. It makes it seem sort of candid. May God continue to bless you as your minister to the body of Christ.
