You can't hold back the dawning.

[okiehobo]

I need the lyrics to the hinsons song, oh no you can't hold back the dawning.
I've got almost all of the lyrics from the song, but there are some words I
can't understand.
Thanks.

I love this song!!

You Can't Hold Back The Dawning

Verse: 1
They carried Jesus down from Calvary,
put him in a tomb they thought he'd stay,
but it didn't take long and the stone was rolled back,
then came a dawn of a brand new day.

Chorus:
No you can't hold back the dawning,
for the morning sure to come,
if the night should find you wanting,
just a little while you'll see the son.

Verse: 2
Here on earth we grope in the shadows,
it's a midnight hour of grief and pain,
but he said my child keep watching and waiting,
for the son's gonna shine again.
