497. Ezekiel Saw the Wheel

Refrain:
Ezekiel saw the wheel
’Way up in the middle of the air,
Ezekiel saw the wheel
’Way in the middle of the air.
The big wheel run by faith,
The little wheel run by the grace of God,
A wheel in a wheel
’Way in the middle of the air.

1 Better mind, my sister, how you walk on the cross,
’Way in the middle of the air,
Your foot might slip and your soul be lost,
’Way in the middle of the air. [Refrain]

2 Let me tell you, brother, what a hypocrite will do,
’Way in the middle of the air,
He’ll low-rate me and he’ll low-rate you,
’Way in the middle of the air. [Refrain]

3 Ol' Satan wears a clubfoot shoe,
’Way in the middle of the air,
If you don't mind, he'll slip it on you,
’Way in the middle of the air. [Refrain]
