[Chorus]
Will you take the hand of Jesus?
Let him purify your soul
Will you take that path to heaven
With the treetops lined with gold?
Well they're all gonna welcome
Anyone who stumbles by
Brother, tell me are you ready
For that place beyond the sky?
[Verse 1]
I can see my grandma's fingers
As they slide across the keys
I can hear her while she's playing
That old fashioned melody
I can see my uncle sitting
With his banjo on his knee
While my daddy's up and singing
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Rock of Ages, Rock of Ages, cleft for me
[Chorus]
Will you take the hand of Jesus?
Let him purify your soul
Will you take that path to heaven
With the treetops lined with gold?
Well they're all gonna welcome
Anyone who stumbles by
Brother, tell me are you ready
For that place beyond the sky?
[Verse 2]
Well I know you got your habits
And I know you got your pain
And I know you're feeling guilty
Cause you think he's cursed your name
Well brothers, we're all sinners
Each and every one the same
It's so hard to be an angel
With the devil in the way
[Chorus]
Will you take the hand of Jesus?
Let him purify your soul
Will you take that path to heaven
With the treetops lined with gold?
Well they're all gonna welcome
Anyone who stumbles by
Brother, tell me are you ready
For that place beyond the sky?
Sister, tell me are you ready
For that place beyond the sky?
Will you take the hand?
