Will you take the hand of Jesus,
let him purify your soul?
Will you take that path to heaven
with those streets all lined with gold?
Well, we're all gonna welcome
Mother, tell me, are you ready
I can see my grandma's fingers
as they slide across the key
I can hear her while she's playin'
that old -fashioned melody
I can see my uncle sittin' with
While my daddy's up there singin'
Rock of Ages, play it for me
Rock of ages, rock of ages, clear for me
Will you take the hand of Jesus,
Will you take that path to heaven
with those streets all lined with gold
Well, we're all gonna welcome
Brother, tell me, are you ready for that place
Well, I know you've got your habits
And I know you've got your pain
And I know you're feelin' guilty
Cause you think he's cursed your name
Well brothers we're all sinners
Each and everyone the same
It's so hard to be an angel
With the devil in your way
Will you take the hand of Jesus
Will you take that path to heaven
With those streets all lined with gold
Well, we're all gonna welcome
Brother, tell me, are you ready for that place
Sister, tell me, are you ready for that place
