Lyrics

Oh my darlin', I have searched the desert and the sky
 Just to find you and take the mourning from my eyes
 When I lost you I suffered and you were sanctified
 We are all born to live, we are all bound to die
 Swing down sweet chariot
 The flesh will fall and the bones will rot
 But from my sorrow you'll carry me not
 My heart is bound, my soul is chained to the rock
 Rock of ages cleft for me
 I swung down my hammer out in Joshua Tree
 It rang on the mountain and rolled to the sea
 And it will ring from the rock
 
 ♪
 Oh my children, sorrow shall come to each of us
 All our trials will soon lay buried in the dust
 Long forgotten but quick as silver turns to rust
 Love is found when the heart is lost
 Swing down sweet chariot
 The flesh will fall and the bones will rot
 But from my sorrow you'll carry me not
 My heart is bound, my soul is chained to the rock
 Rock of ages cleft for me
 I swung down my hammer out in Joshua Tree
 It rang on the mountain and rolled to the sea
 And it will ring from the rock
 Swing down sweet chariot
 The flesh will fall and the bones will rot
 But from my sorrow you'll carry me not
 My heart is bound, my soul is chained to the rock
 Rock of ages cleft for me
 I swung down my hammer out in Joshua Tree
 It rang on the mountain and rolled to the sea
 And it will ring from the rock
 Swing down sweet chariot
 The flesh will fall and the bones will rot
 But from my sorrow you'll carry me not
