I've heard the Rock of Ages
lives way up in the sky
Well, I'd carry Him a letter
Lord, 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 for to calm our earthly woe

I've walked this wild world over
turned up so many dern stones
Can't find a single reason
why such fools are in control
They're so often quick to mention
they 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 went and 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

Lord, 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 your wicked mouths now
you strange and 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
