BINDING UP THE ROD
(Sung to the music of “Sowing in the Morning” The Church Hymnal, No. 621)
We have come together, we have heard the Lord’s call It’s the “very-present truth” He has given us all.
It is what we’re needing. God is surely leading. It’s the “very-present truth”-binding up the ROD.
Chorus: Binding up the ROD, binding up the ROD,
It’s the “very-present truth”-binding up the ROD, Binding up the ROD, binding up the ROD, It’s the “very-present truth”-binding up the ROD.
Time afore we fed in Carmel’s pasture fair, Now it’s gone forever, not a grass is there. But His sheep are feeding on the food they’re needing; It’s the “very-present truth”-binding up the ROD.
Chorus: Binding up the ROD, binding up the ROD,
It’s the “very-present truth”-binding up the ROD, Binding up the ROD, binding up the ROD, It’s the “very-present truth”-binding up the ROD.
Feeding on the ROD now at the hill of Bashan, Which is lush with saving pasture for each one, Whence the ROD is voicing truths to our rejoicing It’s the “very-present truth”-binding up the ROD.
Chorus: Binding up the ROD, binding up the ROD,
It’s the “very-present truth”-binding up the ROD, Binding up the ROD, binding up the ROD, It’s the “very-present truth”-binding up the ROD.
Those alone with living faith will survive the trouble; They will be victorious, they will win the battle. That, there’s no gainsaying, for they’re ever praying It’s the “very-present truth”-binding up the ROD.
Chorus: Binding up the ROD, binding up the ROD,
It’s the “very-present truth”-binding up the ROD, Binding up the ROD, binding up the ROD, It’s the “very-present truth”-binding up the ROD.
