Rock of Ages by Che Apalache Lyrics
[VERSE 1)
I’ve heard the Rock of Ages lives way up in the sky
Well, I’d carry Him a letter, Lord, if only I could fly
I’m sure He’d like to help out down here on earth below
I’m sure He’d kindly help us for to calm our earthly woe
[VERSE 2)
I’ve walked this wild world over, turned up so many dern stones
Can’t find a single reason why such fools are in control
They’re so often quick to mention, they just have to let you know
That they love the Rock of Ages, and with Him they share control
[VERSE 3)
The day the Rock of Ages heard how they used His name
He went and packed up his belongings, and He jumped an old freight train
Went way up o’er the mountains, dissolved beyond the sky
Forever fled from those who’d said that He had been their guide
[VERSE 4)
Lord, to know the Rock of Ages means not to draw a sword
Nor wield a knife, nor cause great strife, nor subjugate the poor
You hush your wicked mouths now, you strange and nasty men
It’s finally time, the meek shall rise and have what’s due to them
And never more will this ole world be ruled by you again
I’ve heard the Rock of Ages lives way up in the sky
Well, I’d carry Him a letter, Lord, if only I could fly
I’m sure He’d like to help out down here on earth below
I’m sure He’d kindly help us for to calm our earthly woe
[VERSE 2)
I’ve walked this wild world over, turned up so many dern stones
Can’t find a single reason why such fools are in control
They’re so often quick to mention, they just have to let you know
That they love the Rock of Ages, and with Him they share control
[VERSE 3)
The day the Rock of Ages heard how they used His name
He went and packed up his belongings, and He jumped an old freight train
Went way up o’er the mountains, dissolved beyond the sky
Forever fled from those who’d said that He had been their guide
[VERSE 4)
Lord, to know the Rock of Ages means not to draw a sword
Nor wield a knife, nor cause great strife, nor subjugate the poor
You hush your wicked mouths now, you strange and nasty men
It’s finally time, the meek shall rise and have what’s due to them
And never more will this ole world be ruled by you again
