Diamonds in the Rough

[Verse 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 Nation stand, singing with all their might
I give my heart to Jesus and left the show that night

[Chorus]
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 shining, no longer in the rough

[Verse 2]
One day, my precious comrade, you, too, were lost in sin
And others sought your rescue and Jesus took you in
And when you're tired and tempted and scoffers can rebuff
Don't turn away in anger this diamond in the rough

[Chorus]
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 shining, no longer in the rough

[Verse 3]
While reading through the Bible, some wondrous sights I see
I read of Peter, James, and John on the Sea of Galilee
And Jesus when he found them he bound them very tough
And they were precious diamonds he gathered in the rough

[Chorus]
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 shining, no longer in the rough
