Diamonds In The Rough Lyrics - Diamonds In The Rough - John Prine

1. While walking out one evening 

Not knowing where to go 

Just to pass the time away 

Before we held our show 

I heard the Bethel mission's band 

Singing with all their might 

I give my heart to Jesus 

And left the show that night

The day will soon be over 

And digging will be done 

And no more gems be gathered 

So let us all press on 

When Jesus comes to claim us 

And says it is enough 

The diamonds will be shinning 

No longer in the rough

2. One day my precious comrade 

You to were lost in sin 

And others sought your rescue 

And Jesus took you in 

And when your tired and tempted 

And scoffers can rebuff 

Don't turn away in anger 

This diamond in the rough

3. While reading through the Bible 

Some wondrous sights i've seen 

I read of Peter, James and John 

By the sea of Galilee 

And Jesus when he found them 

He found them very tough 

And they were precious diamonds 

He gathered in the rough
