From Part Five, “Wake Up Call,” of Can’t Stop It! by J H McIntosh (Chapter 16, “June 7, 1957”).
Lyrics
First time I saw that cross. T’was burnin’ on Jackson’s lawn,
Very, first time I saw the cross, was flamin’ out right on Jackson’s lawn
Climb 1:
When I asked Mamma, oh what should we do, she said:
Rollin’ rocks at ya all day long, Satan’s a mighty busy creeper.
Rollin’ rocks all day long, Satan’s a real grim reaper.
Turn-a-round:
Turnin’ the cheek, the other way, keeps ya from going down deeper.
Vere 1:
Please forgive them Father, for they know not what they do
Lord, empty my heart of any hate, let me keep coming to you.
Sometimes Lord, it seems life is too hard to bear,
Sometimes people, it’s just so hard being here.
Giving it all to God, will chase away the spirit of fear.
Rollin’ rocks at ya all day long, Satan’s a mighty busy creeper.
Rollin’ rocks all day long, Satan’s a real grim reaper.
Climb 2:
Jesus wipes Satan’s evil away, He’s our soul’s keeper.
Turn-a-round:
Turnin’ the cheek, each and every day, keeps ya from going down deeper.
Rollin’ rocks at ya all day long, Satan’s a mighty busy creeper.
Rollin’ rocks all day long, Satan’s a real grim reaper.
Turn-a-round:
Turnin’ the cheek, the other way, keeps ya from going down deeper.
When life seems like it is just too much
Grace avails in the Father’s tender touch.
