I've Just Seen The Rock Of Ages

(альбом: Gary - 1979)

I was standing by the bed side
With her fever breaking
When she called me close beside her
And I thought I heard her say

I've just seen the rock of ages
Jacob's ladder hanging down
I just crossed the river of Jordan
Now my son I'm homeward bound

As we gathered all around her
Tears began to fill her eyes
Then she called me close beside her
And softly whispered her goodbye

I've just seen the rock of ages
Jacob's ladder hanging down
I just crossed the river of Jordan
Now my son I'm homeward bound

A pine breeze blowing on a mountain
Where forever she will lay
There she'll rest beside beside the fountain
There she'll sleep beneath the clay

I've just seen the rock of ages
Jacob's ladder hanging down
I just crossed the river of Jordan
Now my son I'm homeward bound
