Lyr Req: No Hiding Place Down There

Subject: I only know the chorus
From: sarv@mhv.net

I knew an old white spiritual when I was a kid. One of the verses ended: "I went to the rock to hide my face The rock cried out 'no hiding place'. No hiding place down there." The chorus went: No hiding place down there, Hallelujah. No hiding place down there Glory, glory, glory. I went to the rock to hide my face etc. Does ANYBODY know the whole song? I have been looking for it it far and far and wide and wide.

From the Folksinger's Wordbook:

There's no hiding place down here
There's no hiding place down here
Oh I ran to the rock to hide my face
The rock cried out, "No hiding place"
No hiding place down here.

The rock cried out, "I'm burning, too." [2x]
Oh the rock cried out, "I'm burning, too
I want to go to Heaven the same as you."
There's no hiding place down here.

Sinner man he stumbled and he fell [2x]
Oh, the sinner man stumbled and he fell
Wanted to go to Heaven but he had to go to ... Well,
There's no hiding place down here.
