ONE DROP OF WATER

Details

Description

this is a song I heard Ralph Stanley do a few years back. WHat a powerful song about salvation, after all these years, and the "Rich Man" is still wanting just One Drop of Water"

Lk:16:24: And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

Lk:25: But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

I do this in the key of "D"

THE [D] RICH MAN LIVED IN LUXURY SURROUNDED BY HIS DOOR
HED ALWAYS HAD THE VERY BEST THAT [E] MONEY COULD [A7] AFFORD
HE [D] LEFT THIS WORLD NOT CARING ABOUT HIS RESTING PLACE
HE LAID HIS EYES TWORD HEAVEN [A7] BUT IT WAS TOO [D] LATE

GIVE ME [D] ONE DROP OF WATER THE RICH MAN CRIED FROM HELL
ONE DROP OF WATER BUT [E] STILL NO WATER [A7] FELL
HE [D] ALWAYS WAS A SELFISH MAN HIS HEART WAS FILLED WITH GREED
NOW A LITTLE DROP OF WATER IS [A7] ALL HELL EVER [D] NEED

YOU [D] CAINT LOVE GOLD AND SILVER AND LOVE THE SAVIOR TOO
LIKE THE EYE OF A NEEDLE YOUR [E] CHANCE OF GETTIN [A7] THROUGH
SO [D] MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS BEFORE ANOTHER DAY
FOR ALL YOUR GOLD AND SILVER WILL [A7] SURELY PASS [D] AWAY

GIVE ME [D] ONE DROP OF WATER THE RICH MAN CRIED FROM HELL
ONE DROP OF WATER BUT [E] STILL NO WATER [A7] FELL
HE [D] ALWAYS WAS A SELFISH MAN HIS HEART WAS FILLED WITH GREED
NOW A LITTLE DROP OF WATER IS [A7] ALL HELL EVER [D] NEED

THERES [D] ONE WAY TO HEAVEN BY AMAZIN GRACE
WHERE EVERYONE IS EQUAL NO [E] MATTER CREED OR [A7] RACE
SO [D] HAVE NO OTHER BIBLE AND ALWAYS PUT GOD FIRST
WELL LIVE ON MILK AND HONEY AND [A7] WE WILL NEVER [D] THIRST

GIVE ME [D] ONE DROP OF WATER THE RICH MAN CRIED FROM HELL
ONE DROP OF WATER BUT [E] STILL NO WATER [A7] FELL
HE [D] ALWAYS WAS A SELFISH MAN HIS HEART WAS FILLED WITH GREED
