The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Der Fels" by the artist "Xavier Naidoo"

Contents

In the song "Der Fels" ("The Rock"), Xavier Naidoo uses the metaphor of a rock to describe his faith in God and His importance in his life.

The lyrical hero faces difficulties: "darkness falls upon me", "the rain doesn't stop", he's "swept away", he "stumbles and risks falling". In these difficult moments, God becomes his "handrail", "light", "faithful support", "ground beneath his feet". The image of the rock symbolizes the steadfastness, reliability, and security that God gives to the lyrical hero.

The hero acknowledges his dependence on God, repeating the phrase: "I want to say that I hope in you, I believe in you, I need you, like nothing else in this world". He feels "lonely, weak and lost" without divine support, comparing this state to coldness, fear and falling.

The song is filled with gratitude to God for "strength and a sense of security", for salvation, support and inspiration. The lyrical hero sees manifestations of divine grace in everything: in joy, peace, happiness, strength, refuge, love, perspective, knowledge, freedom, hope and strength.

The final lines of the song are a powerful confession of faith: "Lord, you are the rock", affirming the lyrical hero's unwavering faith and his complete dependence on God.

Wenn die Dunkelheit über mich hereinbricht

Und 's nicht aufhört zu regnen,

Ich ins Schleudern gerate,

Stolpre und drohe zu fallen

Bist du mein Geländer und mein Licht

Auf all meinen Wegen,

Meine Stütze und mein Stab,

Mein Stecken, mein Boden und mein Halt

Was ich sagen will ist ich bau auf dich,

Ich glaub an dich, ich brauche dich,

Wie sonst nichts auf dieser Welt

Wenn ich einsam bin, schwach und verloren,

Ich friere und mich fürchte,

Mir der Boden entzogen wird,

Ich stürze und Übel mich plagen,

Schenkst du mir die Kraft und Geborgenheit,

Nach der mich dürstet,

Wie oft hast du mich schon gerettet,

Beflügelt und getragen

Was ich sagen will ist ich bau auf dich,

Ich glaub an dich, ich brauche dich,

Wie sonst nichts auf dieser Welt

Alles, was ich sagen will, ist ich glaub an dich,

Ich vertraue auf dich, ich bau auf dich

Herr, du bist der Fels

Mein Herz ist fröhlich

Und ich will dir danken mit meinem Lied

Für die Gnaden und den Frieden

Und das Glück, das du mir offenbarst,

Für die Burg, die du bist

Und die Zuflucht, die du ganz allein gibst,

Für die Liebe, die Perspektive, die Erkenntnis,

Freiheit, Hoffnung und die Kraft

Alles, was ich sagen wil,

Ich glaub an dich und ich brauche dich,

Wie sonst nichts auf dieser Welt

Ich glaub an dich,

Ich vertrau auf dich,

Ich bau auf dich, ich bau auf dich,

Herr, du bist der Fels
