BIG ELK - “Guard The Good Treasure” [Lyrics]
[Inspired by 2 Timothy 1:14]
VERSE [ E - A] (Each line in the verses is repeated twice)
You don’t know my name
I ain’t gonna tell you.
You can’t wear my hat
It just don’t fit you right.
You ain’t seen what I seen
Your eyes been closed my friend.
CHORUS [ B7 - A ] (Repeated four times)
I’m gonna guard the good treasure
Inside of me.
VERSE
You don’t know my trials
But have a drink with me.
You don’t know my yearning
Your belly’s full of air.
You can share my bed, dear
But I’m leavin in the morning.
(Chorus)
You can’t return my gaze
My fire’s burnin much too bright.
You can’t guess my age
I’m older than the hills.
I’ve walked this whole wide world, dear
I’m still standin tall.
(Chorus)
The Devil’s been defeated
The bastard’s been thrown down.
I’m gonna sing it to the world
You don’t even know.
What I got a-cookin
It will fill you up.
(Chorus)
With a little help from Jesus
He didn’t die up on that cross.
He’s walkin here among us
Healin the sick and lame.
He’s callin you to him
Can you hear his call?
(Chorus)
