   D
In a dream I was walkin' 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

Verse 2:

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

There's a calm on the water, a hush in the crowd

Ain't that a  wonderful feelin', let us lift Him up
