Dolly Parton Calm On The Water Lyrics

Home > P > Dolly Parton > Calm On The Water Lyrics

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 strowed 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

[ guitar ]

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...



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
