I'll drop my hammer and nail
And pick up my cross
Consider all I've gained
Consider it loss
Oh Lord won't You come today
And lay me down in my dying bed?
I'll pick up a shovel
And labor out my grave
I'll crawl down in there
Til the stone rolls away
Oh Lord won't You come today
And lay me down in my dying bed?
I'll use these crippled lungs
To scream out 'I am done'
Fall to my knees with ashes on my head
And there I will follow wherever I am led
Oh Lord won't You come today
And lay me down in my dying bed?
