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.
