"God And The Ground She Walked On" lyrics

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 everybody he waters and weeds

The sun 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
