Rock Of Ages

We stood there unable trying to keep warm

To make the next town

Oklahoma I will roam any direction from someone

Too old to remember why he's seen us that way

Singing rock of ages when will you fall

Turn the pages of history recalls

In the mountain you revere

Are too old to remember why they put us here

Sing the hymns that when we were young

Our battles tunes always sung

Like Jesus loves me, I hold him dear

But I don't think He's to old to know why we're here

Grandma Moses drew like a child

All the changes of a country wild

And her friends told her to sell what you do

But she's getting older to even remember was it true

Rock of ages

When will you crumble down to the sandy shore

Is this all that we're meant to do

Just get older 'til we don't know why we're here anymore

And when you've already been

Round the world that you want to do it again

Rock of ages

You're getting old

Old man Moses climbed the rock

To get the tablets and the rules for us

But when he returned down from the Mount

All his people were in there so long they forgot what it was about

Sing rock of ages and turn the pages

And the redwoods they're just agin'

Sing rock of ages and he loves me

But don't get too old to still believe

Sing rock of ages sing it strong

To the wayward where others are

And to hear you and your voices ring

Lest you get too old and you forget how to sing

Rock of ages rockin' rollin'

Turn the pages you didn't open

Rock of ages you'll always be

Oh, get too old and crumblin' down to sand into the sea.
