Okay, Earl, we're going to have a record together here, me and you.
We haven't done that in a long time, have we, Earl?
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 band singing with all its might
I gave my heart to Jesus and left the show that night
The day will soon be over and the digging will be done
No more chimps together, so let us all press on
When Jesus comes to claim us and He says it is enough
The diamonds will be shining no longer in the rough
While reading through the Bible such wonderful sights I see
I read of Peter, James and John by the Sea of Galilee
And Jesus, when He found them, boy, He found them mighty tough
For they were precious diamonds He had gathered in the rough
The day will soon be over and the digging will be done
No more chimps together, so let us all press on
When Jesus comes to claim us and He says it is enough
The diamonds will be shining no longer in the rough
When Jesus comes to claim us and He says it is enough
