Rock me in the cradle of love, oh Lordy,
Rock me in the cradle of love.
Oh Lord, won't you help me to walk in your Holy Spirit,
Rock me in the cradle of love.
Oh Lord, won't you rock me in the cradle of love, oh Lordy,
Rock me in the cradle of love.
Oh Lord, won't you lighten my load and-a ease my burden.
Rock me in the cradle of love.
Now I've been in the storm so long,
Rock me in the cradle of love.
I thought that all my hope was gone.
Rock me in the cradle of love.
Then you came and rescued me.
Rock me in the cradle of love.
Your precious love has set me free.
Rock me in the cradle of love.
Oh Lord, won't you rock me in the cradle of love, oh Lordy,
Rock me in the cradle of love.

Rock me in the cradle of love.
Oh Lord, won't you rock me in the cradle of love, oh Lordy,
Rock me in the cradle of love.
Oh Lord, won't you lighten my load and-a ease my burden.
Rock me in the cradle of love.
Devil's knocking at my door.
Rock me in the cradle of love.
Talkin' to me more and more.
Rock me in the cradle of love.
Then lightnin' flashed and thunder rolled.
Rock me in the cradle of love.
Then, Lord, you saved my sin sick soul.
Rock me in the cradle of love.
Oh Lord, won't you rock me in the cradle of love, oh Lordy,
Rock me in the cradle of love.
Oh Lord, won't you help me to walk in your Holy Spirit,
Rock me in the cradle of love.
Oh Lord, won't you rock me in the cradle of love, oh Lordy,
Rock me in the cradle of love.
Oh Lord, won't you lighten my load and-a ease my burden.
Rock me in the cradle of love.
Thank you, Father, now I see.
Rock me in the cradle of love.
Your heav'nly light shine down on me.
Rock me in the cradle of love.
Now you're my shield, my shelt'ring wing.
Rock me in the cradle of love.
Lord, you're my all, my everything!
Rock me in the cradle of love.
Oh Lord, won't you rock me in the cradle of love, oh Lordy,
Rock me in the cradle of love.
