He wears the same suit every Sunday She's not there to straighten his tie He'll be back in the fields come Monday Where he spent most of his life Now, we thought he came 'cause she made him At least that's what we used to say But he's there every time the doors open So he can see her again someday So he stands up and sings, 'Rock of ages' He fumbles to find her songs He feels her turning the pages Like she was right there reading along He puts his tithes in the offering Somewhere in his heart, she's not gone That old man still worships God and the ground she walked on ♪ Every morning he walks through her garden He's not really sure what it needs She knew how to make it blossom So everyday he waters and weeds His son wants to move him to Phoenix The bank says they'll buy back his home But he pretends that he doesn't hear 'em 'Cause he'd never leave her alone So he stands up and sings, 'Rock of ages' He fumbles to find her songs He feels her turning the pages Like she was right there reading along He puts his tithes in the offering Somewhere in his heart, she's not gone That old man still worships God and the ground she walked on That old man still worships
God and the ground she walked on Rock of ages, cleft for me Let me hide myself in thee
