A D A
There's a white oak on the hill at my old clinch mountain home.
B7 E
That stands straight and true on that windy spur alone
A D A
And when the cold wind blows it's roots they bend and moan
E A
But when the storm have passed it straightens up and goes on
[Chorus]
A D A
Lord let me be like that white oak on the hill
B7 E
And help me to live in Your almighty will
A D A
Help me on my journey, Lord, as I travel on my own
E A
And give me the strength to straighten up and go on.
[Verse]
A D A
You know the troubles of this life, They sometimes get me down
B7 E
And when I look for my friends, they're not always a'round
A D A
Then the good Lord seems to say, "son, get up and do my will
E A
And always remember that ol' white oak on the hill."
[Chorus]
A D A
Lord let me be like that white oak on the hill
B7 E
and Help me to live in Your almighty will
A D A
Help me on my journey, Lord, as I travel on my own
E A
And give me the strength to straighten up and go on.
E A
And give me the strength to straighten up and go on.
