Lyr Add: ROCK MY SOUL

Chorus:
Why don't you rock my soul
Down in the bosom of Abraham, you rock my soul
Down in the bosom of Abraham, you rock my soul
Down in the bosom of Abraham, good Lord, you rock my soul
Lord, you rock my soul.

1. Lord, you rock my soul (well the rich man lives)
Well glory and honor (and he lives so well)
Why don't you praise the Lord (yet and when he died)
Well glory and honor (had a home in Hell)
Why don't you praise the Lord.

Chorus:

2. Lord, you rock my soul (well a poor man Lazarus)
Well glory and honor (was as poor as I)
Why don't you praise the Lord (yet when he died)
Well glory and honor (had a home on high)
Why don't you praise the Lord.

Song Lyrics
Select R under Gospel Bluegrass. I have given the index page since there are many interesting songs in the lists.
Does anyone know who originally sang this version?
