calm on the water
In a dream I was walking in a beautiful field I was gathering flowers at the foot of a hill When a bright light descended and it spread o'er the land Jesus stood on the mountain and He held out His hand Then He came down from the mountain headed down to the sea And the children strawed flowers at the path at His feet And He was filled with compassion and the beasts from the wild Came as gentle as lambs and they all walked at His side There's a calm on the water a hush in the crowd There's peace in the valley there's a stillness about There's a light in the darkness there's joy in His love Ain't that a wonderful feelin' left us lift him up Then He suddenly vanished from the crowd down below Reappeared on the mountain in a radiant glow He said your questions are many but the answer is love There is life everlasting let us lift him up There's a calm on the water a hush in the crowd There's peace in the valley there's a stillness about There's a light in the darkness there's joy in His love Ain't that a wonderful feelin' left us lift him up He said if I be lifted up, He said if I be lifted up What did He say, He said if I be lifted up, He said if I be lifted up Let's lift him higher and higher and higher and higher each day Let's lift him up He said if I be lifted up of if I be lifted up
