C While walking out one evening F C Not knowing where to go Just to pass the time away D7 G7 Before we held our show C I hear the Backwood Mission Band F C Singing with all their might I gave my heart to Jesus G7 C And left the show that night The day will soon be over F C And diggings will be done And no more gems be gathered D7 G7 So let us all press on C When Jesus comes to claim us F C And says it is enough The diamonds will be shining G7 C No longer in the rough While reading in the Bible F C Some wondrous sights I see I read of Peter James and John D7 G7 By the Sea of Galilee C And Jesus when He found them F C He found them very kind And they were precious diamonds G7 C That gathered in the rough
