G C G
While walking out one evening, not knowing where to go,
D
just to pass the time away before we held our show,
G C G
I heard the Bethel mission's band singing with all their might,
D G
I gave my heart to Jesus and left the show that night.
G C G
The day will soon be over and digging will be done,
D
and no more gems be gathered, so let us all press on.
G C G
When Jesus comes to claim us, and says it is enough,
D G
the diamonds will be shining no longer in the rough.
G C G
While reading through the Bible, some wondrous sights I've seen,
D
I read of Peter, James and John by the Sea of Galilee.
G C G
And Jesus when he found them, he found them very tough,
D G
for they were precious diamonds, he gathered in the rough.
