Ricky Shane - Seven Hillsides lyrics
(Written by Walt Wilkins)
 All night I've wrestled Jacob's angels
 And prayed with Matthew, Luke and John
 Struggling to find the words you face the task
 That comes upon the blood red dawn.
 I've buried men before their time
 Of alcohol and blackened lung
 But how to bury seven of these
 Appalachian miners sons.
 Who stormed the beaches wave on wave,
 And sailed home to these rocky graves
 In family plots that bared their names.
 Chorus:
 Tomorrow I'll walk up, seven hillsides
 Tremble before my flock on seven hillsides
 Seven sorrows, seven sons, seven mothers and every one
 Will turn to me for the word of God, what does this mean?
 And there I'll stand good book in hand,Ricky Shane - Seven Hillsides - http://motolyrics.com/ricky-shane/seven-hillsides-lyrics.html
 A shepherd to these precious lambs
 What will I say, what will I say, what can I say?
 To tell the truth I'd never thought much
 About the will of God before.
 Called to preach at seventeen
 I was in love with fiery words and not much more.
 The time has come to keep the faith
 For others shattered by their loss.
 Remind them of the loving God
 Whose son like theirs paid the cost.
 To save a sad and wicked world
 Through sacrifice our love is heard
 And pray that I believe those words.
 Chorus:
 Tomorrow I'll walk up, seven hillsides
 Tremble before my flock on seven hillsides
 Seven sorrows, seven sons, seven mothers and every one
 Will turn to me for the word of God, what does this mean?...
