Bluegrass Songs - Diamond in the rough

Diamond in the rough

While walking out one evening
Not knowing where to go
Just to pass the time away
Before we gave the show
I met a little salvation band
Singing with all its might
I gave my heart to Jesus
And left the show that night

    The day will soon be over
    And degging will be done
    And no more gems be gathered
    So let us all press on
    Till Jesus comes to claim us
    And says it is enough
    The diamonds will be shining
    No longer in the rough

While reading through the Bible
Some wondrous sights I see
I read of Peter, James and John
By the Sea of Galilee
And Jesus when he found them
He found them very tough
And they were precious diamonds
He gathered in the rough
