The title of this song was conceived by Terry Lynn Steele, one afternoon on his back porch in Vernon, Texas. He said it, I liked it and I said I'd use it. He wanted credit. Here it is.

lyrics

Hard rain will fall, hard rain will fall, beating on my anvil heart
Howling caterwaul, howling caterwaul, beating on my anvil heart

Train coming slow, train coming slow, beating on my anvil heart
Bale the whistle blow, bale the whistle blow, beating on my anvil heart

Drumfire close, drumfire close, beating on my anvil heart
Hail the Holy Ghost, hail the Holy Ghost, beating on my anvil heart

Devil gonna roam, devil gonna roam, beating on my anvil heart
Jesus take me home, Jesus take me home, beating on my anvil heart

Sacrificial love is by far the greatest gift among men. ... more
