Behold the Rock of Ages

Yonder Mountain String Band


There ain't no kingdom bigger
Ain't no money worth
Be you saint or sinner
Be in heaven or on earth
Behold the Rock of Ages
Feel that fiery sword
Forgive me, for now I see you, Lord

Can't leave Momma cryin'
Can't leave my sister dear
Brother, saint or sinner
Sending promise I am near
You'll see me in the darkness
I'll reach to touch your heart
Forgive me, for now I see Lord

Ain't no water sweeter
Ain't no ocean deep
Jordan, mighty river, catch the tears
Let Momma sleep
Behold the Rock of Ages
Feel that fiery sword
Forgive me, for now I see you, Lord

If I could beg forgiveness
When the gates swing open wide
The Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Are standin' side by side
Behold the Rock of Ages
Feel that fiery sword
Forgive me, for now I see you, Lord
