Oh my darlin'   I have searched the desert and the sky   Just to find you   And take the mourning from my eyes   When I lost you   I suffered and you were sanctified   We are all born to live we are all bound to die      Swing down sweet chariot   The flesh will fall and the bones will rot   But from my sorrow you'll carry me not   My heart is bound my soul is chained   To the rock   Rock of ages cleft for me   I swung down my hammer out in Joshua Tree   It rang on the mountain and rolled to the sea   And it will ring from the rock      Oh my children   Sorrow shall come to each of us   All our trials   Will soon lay buried in the dust   Long forgotten   But quick as silver turns to rust   Love is found when the heart is lost
