Lyrics The Coal Miner - Dean

As I travel down deep
In this dark, dreary mine
Will this be forever
When is the last time?
When a voice like an angel
Through a moutnain of stone
Said, "Child, you're my servant
You're no longer your own"
And in the cleft of the mountain
I was preserved from the stone
And with the shield of protection
I was delivered from harm
He kept angels about me
They walk by my side every day
I thank God for His mercy
Although, He didn't have to stay
I spent most of my life
Workin' from daylight 'til dark
This way of life sure makes a body so tired
But then that call from on High
Gave me the strength to stand tall
"Child, you're my servant
It's time to answer your call"
And in the cleft of the mountain
I was preserved from the stone
And with the shield of protection
I was delivered from harm
He kept angels about me
They walk by my side every day
I thank God for His mercy
Although, He didn't have to stay
He kept angels about me
They walk by my side every day
I thank God for His mercy
Although, He didn't have to stay
He didn't have to stay
He didn't have to stay
