Verse 1:
     D
In a dream I was walkin' in a beautiful field
      D                          G       A  D
I was   gathering flowers at the foot of a  hill
       D
When a   bright light descended and it spread o'er the land
      D                              G        A   D
Jesus   stood on the mountain and He held out His hand

Verse 2:
             D
Then He came   down from the mountain, headed down to the sea
        D                                 G       A   D
And the   children strowed flowers in the path at His feet
           D
And He was   filled with compassion and the beasts from the wild
        D                              G         A   D
Came as   gentle as lambs and they all walked at His side

Chorus:
          D
There's a calm on the water, a hush in the crowd
        F#                             G
There's peace in the valley, there's a stillness about
          D            G                 F#         Bm
There's a light in the darkness, there's joy in His love
             D           G               Bm   A   D
Ain't that a   wonderful feelin', let us lift Him up

Verse 3:
        D
Then He   suddenly vanished from the crowd down below
      D                             G   A   D
He ap---peared on the mountain in a radiant glow
             D
He said your   questions are many but the answer is love
          D                    G  A      D
I'll draw all men unto me if I be lifted up

          D            G                 F#         Bm
There's a light in the darkness, there's joy in His love

There is   life everlastin', let us lift Him up
