The song (frequently titled "I Call Jesus My Rock" ) is a powerful gospel anthem that bridges the gap between Old Testament prophecy and New Testament faith. Written in the 20th century by Virginia Davis Marshall , the song has become a staple in "old school" gospel music, famously recorded by artists like Pastor H.E. Dixon and Kelontae Gavin . Complete Lyrics to "Ezekiel Said He Saw Him"
Ezekiel said he saw Him (Chorus): Oh yes! (Leader): As a wheel in the middle of a wheel (Chorus): Oh yes! (Leader): John talked about Him (Chorus): Oh yes! (Leader): In the book of the seven seals (Chorus): Oh yes!
Some people call Him Rose of Sharon (Chorus): Oh yes! (Leader): Others call Him the Prince of Peace (Chorus): Oh yes! (Leader & Chorus): But I call Jesus my rock!
A reference to the Apostle John’s vision in Revelation 5-6, where only the "Lamb" (Jesus) is worthy to open the seals of the scroll containing God's plan for the end of the age.
I call Him Jesus (My rock!)Oh, Jesus (My rock!)I know He won’t deny meHe always walks beside meI call Jesus my rock!
The song typically follows a "leader and chorus" (call and response) format common in traditional gospel and ring shout traditions.
The lyrics are rich with biblical symbolism, drawing from specific visions and titles given to the Messiah across the scriptures.
Considered the definitive "old school" version, available on Spotify and Facebook .
