《Diamonds in the Rough》歌词

[00:00:00] Diamonds in the Rough (粗糙钻石) - The Carter Family (卡特家族)

[00:00:03] While walking out one evening

[00:00:07] Not knowing where to go

[00:00:11] Just to pass the time away

[00:00:15] Before we held our show

[00:00:18] I heard the Bethel the Nation stand

[00:00:23] Singing with all their might

[00:00:26] I give my heart to Jesus

[00:00:30] And left the show that night

[00:00:34] The day will soon be over

[00:00:38] And digging will be done

[00:00:42] And no more gems be gathered

[00:00:46] So let us all press on

[00:00:50] When Jesus comes to claim us

[00:00:54] And says it is enough

[00:00:58] The diamonds will be shining

[00:01:02] No longer in the rough

[00:01:07] One day my precious comrade

[00:01:10] You too were lost in sin

[00:01:14] And others sought your rescue

[00:01:18] And Jesus took you in

[00:01:22] And when you're tired and tempted

[00:01:26] And scoffers can rebuff

[00:01:30] Don't turn away in anger

[00:01:34] This diamond in the rough

[00:01:37] The day will soon be over

[00:01:41] And digging will be done

[00:01:45] And no more gems be gathered

[00:01:49] So let us all press on

[00:01:53] When Jesus comes to claim us

[00:01:57] And says it is enough

[00:02:01] The diamonds will be shining

[00:02:05] No longer in the rough

[00:02:10] While reading through the Bible

[00:02:13] Some wondrous sights I see

[00:02:17] I read of Peter James and John

[00:02:21] On the Sea of Galilee

[00:02:25] And Jesus when he found them

[00:02:29] He bound them very tough

[00:02:32] And they were precious diamonds

[00:02:36] He gathered in the rough

[00:02:40] The day will soon be over

[00:02:44] And digging will be done

[00:02:48] And no more gems be gathered

[00:02:52] So let us all press on

[00:02:55] When Jesus comes to claim us

[00:02:59] And says it is enough

[00:03:03] The diamonds will be shining

[00:03:07] No longer in the rough
