His Chosen Time - Darrell Scott

Pulling down the rafters as they backed out of the hole

It’s dangerous but the boss wants every last bit of that coal

It’s gravy time if it’s not your own life on the line

Sometimes on safety it pays to pay the fines

Crandall Canyon Utah

Nine miners died

It was an act of God

Nothing to do with me

Said Mr. Murray

Who owned the mine

I’m a Christian man

I hope they all believed God took those miners at his chosen time

As his chosen time

He said it was an earthquake out of his control

Carla May Montoya’s husband’s never coming home

The seismic university is pleading not confirmed

A penny saved is not a penny earned

It was an act of God

Nothing to do with me

Said Mr. Murray

Who owned the mine

I’m a Christian man

I hope they all believed God took those miners at his chosen time

As his chosen time

It was an act of God

I’m a Christian man

God took those miners at his chosen time

At his chosen time
