Diamonds In The Rough |
While walking out one evening |
Not knowing where to go |
Just to pass the time away |
Before we gave that show |
I met a little mission band |
Singing with all its might |
I gave my heart to Jesus |
And left the show that night |
The day will soon be over |
And the begging will be done |
No more gems be gathered |
So let us all press on |
When Jesus comes to claim us |
And he says it is enough |
The diamonds will be shining |
No longer in the rough |
While reading through the Bible |
Such wondrous sights I see |
I read of Peter, James and John |
By the Sea of Galilee |
And Jesus when he found them |
Oh, he found them mighty tough |
And they were precious diamonds |
He gathered in the rough |
The day will soon be over |
And the begging will be done |
No more gems be gathered |
So let us all press on |
When Jesus comes to claim us |
And he says it is enough |
The diamonds will be shining |
No longer in the rough |
