We stood there unable trying to keep warm To make the next town Oklahoma I will roam any direction from someone Too old to remember why he's seen us that way
Singing rock of ages when will you fall Turn the pages of history recalls In the mountain you revere Are too old to remember why they put us here
Sing the hymns that when we were young Our battles tunes always sung Like Jesus loves me, I hold him dear But I don't think He's to old to know why we're here
Grandma Moses drew like a child All the changes of a country wild And her friends told her to sell what you do But she's getting older to even remember was it true
Rock of ages When will you crumble down to the sandy shore Is this all that we're meant to do Just get older 'til we don't know why we're here anymore
And when you've already been Round the world that you want to do it again Rock of ages You're getting old
Old man Moses climbed the rock To get the tablets and the rules for us But when he returned down from the Mount All his people were in there so long they forgot what it was about
Sing rock of ages and turn the pages And the redwoods they're just agin' Sing rock of ages and he loves me But don't get too old to still believe
Sing rock of ages sing it strong To the wayward where others are And to hear you and your voices ring Lest you get too old and you forget how to sing
Rock of ages rockin' rollin' Turn the pages you didn't open Rock of ages you'll always be Oh, get too old and crumblin' down to sand into the sea.
