Diamonds In The Rough |
| 1. While walking out one evening |
| Not knowing where to go |
| Just to pass the time away |
| Before we held our show |
| I heard the Bethel mission’s band |
| Singing with all their might |
| I give my heart to Jesus |
| And left the show that night |
| The day will soon be over |
| And digging will be done |
| And no more gems be gathered |
| So let us all press on |
| When Jesus comes to claim us |
| And says it is enough |
| The diamonds will be shinning |
| No longer in the rough |
| 2. One day my precious comrade |
| You to were lost in sin |
| And others sought your rescue |
| And Jesus took you in |
| And when your tired and tempted |
| And scoffers can rebuff |
| Don’t turn away in anger |
| This diamond in the rough |
| chours |
| 3. While reading through the Bible |
| Some wondrous sights i’ve seen |
| I read of Peter, James and John |
| By the sea of Galilee |
| And Jesus when he found them |
| He found them very tough |
| And they were precious diamonds |
| He gathered in the rough |
| chours |
