Jeni Hankins & Billy Kemp: Listen & Lyrics
On a Hill Lone & Grey
for Jack Cash, Johnny’s brother
Father will you meet me in Heaven?
For me the die has been cast.
Tell me you’ll meet me, O father,
and walk with Jesus at last.
A blade is a terrible master.
For brother it meant his life.
As he stretched across the table,
he did not mind the knife.
For brother death was a-calling.
I thought he’d breathed his last,
but as our father wept o’er him,
I heard my brother ask . . .
Father will you meet me in Heaven?
For me the die has been cast.
Tell me you’ll meet me, O father,
and walk with Jesus at last.
Pride is a terrible master
and father was often it’s slave.
He had no love for Jesus
and said he’d ne’er be saved.
But he knelt as brother lay dying
and he felt as ne’er before.
He heard the words of dear brother
and gave his heart to the Lord.
Father will you meet me in Heaven?
For me the die has been cast.
Tell me you’ll meet me, O father,
and walk with Jesus at last.
