Stopped And Thought Of God

Cat. #0950 (MFH #619) - As sung by Ollie Gilbert, Mountain View, Arkansas on February 9, 1970

VERSE 1
I walked thru th whisperin forest
Not a man made sound could I hear
A tendly fawn was playing
But without a sign of fear

VERSE 2
I walked alone on th mountin'
Looked out over th sea
I saw one eagle, spread his wings
In flight so peacefully

VERSE 3
I knew that I was walking
Where mortal man had trod
There on th lonely mountin'
I stopped an' thought of God

VERSE 4
I walked thru th busy city
Was built by men an' steel
A young one cry an' old one die
In flight of victory

VERSE 5
I knew that I was walking
Where mortal men had trod
There on th busy city
I stopped and thought of God
