Let me tell you all a story, about a man I used to know He came out from the city, many years ago Not looking for a fortune, just looking for some land And singing hallelujah, with a bible in his hand Well he came out with his father, when he was fifteen Out into the country, white man had rarely seen He said to himself, "This is where I'll make my stand" And stayed and worked the soil, with a bible in his hand And he'd cling to the old rugged cross by day And at night he'd tell his kids of Gods amazing grace He'd sing blessed assurance, Jesus is mine Walking hand and hand with Jesus out on the eastern line Walking hand and hand with Jesus out on the eastern line Along with depression, a drought was on the land And many walked away, you could understand But when he met a girl, he asked her for her hand And stayed and raised a family, with a bible in his hand Well the years rolled by, and the young man he got old And then he passed away, and that's his story told Many gathered there as they laid him in the sand Now hes no need for his bible, Coz he's talking to the man And the people remain at that spot till this day And they remember their forefathers who pioneered that place And many things have changed but somethings never will you'll find Still walking hand in hand with Jesus out on the eastern line
