Old Dog - Words and Music by Bruce Langhorne © 2000
Let me be unto my Lord, as my old dog is to me.
She don't ask for nothing - she's happy just to be here,
Sitting at my feet and looking up with love,
Saying, “Oh my Lord and master, send thy grace down from above.”
Ruby has been my friend since she was just a pup.
She took care of all my needs when I was coming up.
And she comes when I call her and she does just what I say.
Won't you help me Lord in heaven just to be with you that way?
Let me be unto my Lord, as my old dog is to me.
She don't ask for nothing - she's happy just to be here,
Sitting at my feet and looking up with love,
Saying, “Oh my Lord and master, send thy grace down from above.”
Whatever path I set her on, she's not afraid to go.
She has battled through flood water and she's struggled through deep snow.
When her tail wags for the last time, she'll still be brave, I know.
She'll come running when you call her from this earthly plane below.
Let me be unto my Lord, as my old dog is to me.
She don't ask for nothing - she's happy just to be here,
Sitting at my feet and looking up with love,
Saying, “Oh my Lord and master, send thy grace down from above.”
Well we're both getting old now; we can hardly get around.
We just sit here by the window, while the world goes ‘round and ‘round.
We'll be coming soon to see you, Lord, my faithful dog and I.
We'll be pawing at the gates of your palace in the sky.
Let me be unto my Lord, as my old dog is to me.
She don't ask for nothing - she's happy just to be here,
Sitting at my feet and looking up with love,
Saying, “Oh my Lord and master, send thy grace down from above."
Saying, “Oh my Lord and master, send thy grace down from above."
