Yes Sheryl. Rock of Ages does refer to G-d. I assume when GL says "you and I were asleep in the rock of ages", he's saying that we were nascent,existing as part of G-d's creation, even before we were born or had consciousness. The song has other biblical references and methaphors, like the line about setting the lamb to die, which has several scriptural meanings for us Jews and for Christians as well.
