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.
