The Gospel Plow

Well I got my hands on the gospel plow

And I wouldn’t take nothin’ for my  journey now

Keep your hands on that plow of  God


Hold on hold on

Keep your hands on that plow hold on


Well Matthew Mark Luke and John

All those prophets are dead and gone

Keep your hands on that plow of God


I never been to heaven but I’ve been told

The streets up there are made of gold

Keep your hands on that plow of God

Like most folk and mountain gospel songs, the lyrics are very fluid, and can be ad libbed by the singer during the performance. 


Here are three different renditions of this old folk gospel classic.

Keep Your Hand On the Plow - Mahalia Jackson

The Gospel Plow - Nashville Bluegrass Band

The Gospel Plow - Chance McCoy
