HONEY IN THE ROCK


cho: Honey in the rock for all God's children
Honey in the rock. Honey in the rock.
Honey in the rock for all God's children.
Feed every child of God.

If religion were a thing that money could buy,
Feed every child of God.
The rich would live and the poor would die.
Feed every child of God. CHO.

But I thank my soul that it is not so
Both the rich and poor together must go

Some say Peter and some say Paul, . . .
But I say (or "Remember that") one Lord made us all. . . .

I'll climb and I'll climb that mountaintop. . . .
I'll climb and I'll climb and I'll never stop. . . .

The tallest tree in Paradise. . . .
Some just call it the tree of life. . . .

Hypocrite, hypocrite, God despise. . . .
Tongue's so clean, but he still tell lies. . . .

We can have justice if we care. . . .
Right is right and fair is fair. . . .

Heart to heart and hand to hand, . . .
Together we'll push to the Promised Land. . . .

When I'm happ,y I'll shout and sing, . . .
And make the heavenly spirit ring. . . .

One of these mornings, bright and fair, . . .
Gonna take my flight in the middle of the air. . . .

One of these nights about twelve o'clock, . . .
This whole world's gonna reel and rock. . . .

If we're gonna be fair, we gotta open the door. . . .
We gotta house the homeless and feed the poor. . . .

If the chains hold us down, we gotta break the lock. . . .
Then we'll taste sweet honey in the rock. . . .

The above is a composite from several sources.
Recorded by the Five Blind Boys of Alabama, the Carter Family,
Blind Mamie Forehand, Ralph Stanley, the Carawan Family, and others.
Traditional African-American
