2. _ Thank God
Recorded by hank williams, sr.
Words and music by fred rose
[g] there's a road that's straight and narrow
That the saints have travelled on
Paved with all the tribulations
Of the [a] martyrs that have [d7] gone
If you're [g] grateful for their vict'ries
And for showin' us the way
Then give thanks for all your blessin's
Get [d7] on your knees and [g] pray.
Chorus
Thank god for ev'ry flower and each tree
Thank god for all the [a] mountains and the [d7] seas
Thank [g] god for givin' life to you and me
Wherever you may [d7] be, thank [g] god.
In this world of grief and sorrow
Filled with selfishness and greed
There remains the glory fountain
To supply our every need
You can find it in the temple
With a welcome on the door
But be sure to count your blessin's
Before you ask for more.
Chorus
Be forgivin to the wayward
Like the master told us to
When he said forgive them father
For they know not what they do
They would change their way of livin'
If they could but understand
So remember they're your brothers
They need a helpin' hand.

Straight is the gate and narrow the way
Now i have traded the wrong for the right
Praise the lord i saw the light.

I thought of you brother and of the old homestead
And my tears they fell like rain.

9. _ When God Comes And Gathers His Jewels
Written and recorded by hank williams sr.
The [g] ceremony was [c] over
A [d7] lad stood alone in [g] tears
For he had just [c] said goodbye
To the [d7] one he had loved thru the [g] years.
He stood all alone with his head bowed down
As though his heart would break
Then the parson came over and took his hand
And to him these words he did say.
Chorus
When [g] god comes and gathers his [c] jewels
All his [d7] treasures of diamonds and [g] gold
You'll meet her up there in [c] heaven so fair
When [d7] god comes and gathers his [g] jewels.
(substitute i'll meet her.....on last chorus)
Each night when the pale moon is shining
You can see this lad all alone
With his eyes lifted to'ard heaven
He's repeating these words he was told.

Recorded by hank williams, sr. (with audrey williams)
Words and music by hank williams, sr.
Capo: 4th fret/key: b/play: g
[g] i was all alone and drifting on a lonely sea of sin
Nothing but darkness, no [a7] sunshine [d7] within
I [g] lifted my eyes, to the lord in the sky
And jesus re-[d7] membered [g] me.

And so he set me [d7] free

Glory to god, he re-[d7] membered [g] me.
Now the sun is shining, i'm happy and free
No more sorrow, no troubles to see
I'm going home to glory, my saviour to see
Glory to god, he rememberd me.
Chorus
When he talked to his disciples at the sea of galilee
He said he'd remember a mortal like me
I asked for his blessing down on my knees
And glory to god, he remembered me.

12. _ Wealth Won't Save Your Soul
(e) as we journey along, on (a) life's wicked (e) road,
So selfish are we, for silver and (b7) gold,
You can (e) treasure your wealth, your (a) diamonds and (e) gold,
But my friends it won't save, your (b7) poor wicked (e) soul.
For when god calls, from his home up on high,
To your earthly wealth, you must say goodbye,
Then it's useless to you, if you've strayed from the fold,
For my friend it won't save your poor wicked soul.
The rich man like all, will be judged at that time,
But all of his wealth, will be left behind.
For no matter how much earthly wealth you get hold,
Well my friend it won't save, your poor wicked soul.
This verse on demo record only * * * * *
When the world is on fire, on that judgement day,
For all of our wrongs, then we must pay,
But the debt can't be paid, with silver and gold,
No friends it won't save, your poor wicked soul.
