I've Just Seen the Rock of Ages
by Larry Sparks

Album: Old Church Yard

I was standing by the bedside
Where my feeble mother lay
When she called me close beside her
Here's the words I heard her say

I've just seen the rock of ages
Jacob's ladder hanging down
I've just crossed the river of Jordan
Now my son I'm homeward bound

As we gathered all around her
The tears began to fill our eyes
Then she called me close beside her
Whispered softly her goodbyes

Pine trees blowing on the mountain
Where forever she will lay
There she'll rest beside the fountain
There she'll sleep beneath the clay
