Dolly Parton — Calm on the Water

[Verse 1] 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 over the land Jesus stood on the mountain and He held out His hand [Verse 2] Then He came down from the mountain, headed down to the sea And the children strowed flowers in 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 [Verse 3] 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 feeling? Let us lift Him up [Verse 4] Then He suddenly vanished from the crowd down below He appeared on the mountain in a radiant glow He said, "your questions are many, but the answer is love" "I'll draw all men unto me if I be lifted up" [Pre-Chorus] 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 There is life everlasting, let us lift Him up [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 Oh if I be lifted up [Pre-Chorus] 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 There is life everlasting, let us lift Him up [Chorus] 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
