Rock In Th Weary Land

Cat. #0936 (MFH #558) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on February 9, 1970

VERSE 1
There is a rock in th weary land
Its shadow falls on th burnin' sand
Invitin' pilgrims as they pass
To seek a shade in th wildoness

CHORUS:
Then why will ye die
Why will ye die
When th shelterin' rock is so near by
Then why will ye die

VERSE 2
There is a well, in th desert plain
Its water flows from an unstreaked stain
Whoever thirsty, sin sick soul
Completeli drink an' you shall be whole

CHORUS:
Then why will ye die
Why will ye die
When th livin' will is so near by
Then why will ye die

VERSE 3
There is a fold, with its portals wide
Th sheep astray on th mountain' steep
Th sheperd comes o'er mounin' steep
Searchin' for his wanderin' sheep

CHORUS:
Then why will ye die
Why will ye die
When th sheperd fold is so near by
Then why will ye die
