WHITE OAK ON THE HILL

            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.

      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.
