A Cabin In The Hills

I dreamed I saw Jesus last night

seated on a mountain in the moonlight

His hands held a key to a cabin

that cabin I'd dreamed of all my life.



Money makes the rules we have to live by

A home is just a place they send the bills

God knows why we work and what we pray for

So He's building me a cabin in the hills.



Who knows He might be finished in the morning

So I lie awake and take no sleeping pills

God knows I'm not happy in a mansion

So He's building me a cabin in the hills.



I live my lonesome life down in a valley

With the factories, the rivers, and the mills

Sometimes I can almost hear his hammer

'Cause he's building me a cabin in the hills.



Someone has to keep the home fire burning

So I sweat and get the harvest in the field.



Life on earth won't be the same hereafter

So he's building me a cabin in the hills.

I live my lonesome life down in a valley

With the factories, the rivers and the mills.



Sometimes I can almost hear His hammer

'cause He's building me a cabin in the hills.

He's building me a cabin in the hills.
