I heard the Rock of Ages lives way up in the sky Well, I'd carry Him a letter 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 to calm our earthly woe I've walked this wild world over, turned up so many a stone Can't find a single reason why such fools are in control They're often quick to mention, just have to let you know that they love the Rock of Ages and with Him they share control The day the Rock of Ages heard how they used His name He 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 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 you wicked mouths now, you shameful, 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
