There's a white oak on the hill at my old clinch mountain home
D7
That stands straight and true on that windy spur alone
G C G
And when the cold wind blows its roots they bend and moan
D7 G
And when the storms have passed it straightens up and goes on
C G
Lord let me be like that white oak on the hill
D7
And help me to live in Your almighty will
G C G
Help me on my journey Lord as I travel on my own
D7 G
And give me the strength to straighten up and go on
C G
You know the troubles of this life may sometimes get me down
D7
And when I look for my friends they're not always around
G C G
Then the good Lord seems to say son get up and do My will
D7 G
And always remember that old white oak on the hill
C G
Lord let me be like that white oak on the hill
D7
And help me to live in Your almighty will
G C G
Help me on my journey Lord as I travel on my own
D7 G
And give me the strength to straighten up and go on
D7 G
And give me the strength to straighten up and go on
