Wheel in a Wheel

'Zekiel saw the wheel of time

Representative Text

Chorus:
Wheel in the middle of a wheel,
Wheel in the middle of a wheel,
Wheel in the middle of a wheel,
Wheel in the middle of a wheel,

1 'Zekiel saw the wheel of time,
Wheel in the middle of a wheel,
Ev'ry spoke was humankind.
Wheel in the middle of a wheel. [Chorus]

2 Way up yonder on the mountain top,
Wheel in the middle of a wheel,
My Lord spoke and the chariot stopped.
Wheel in the middle of a wheel. [Chorus]

'Zekiel saw the wheel
Way in the middle of the air,
'Zekiel saw the wheel
Way in the middle of the air.
Big wheel run by faith,
Little wheel run by the grace of God,
Wheel, oh, wheel,
Way in the middle of the air.
