Diamonds In The Rough

                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.
