lyrics version 1
I’m gonna climb that mountain
Cross over to the promised land
Yeah I’m gonna climb that mountain
Cross over to the promised land
There’s a scarlet fountain where once the cross did stand
My days are numbered
But there’s no sorrow when I sleep
My days are surely numbered
There’s no sorrow when I sleep
He comforts those who stay within his keep
Life is filled with mystery, our future's in his hands
And God controls the history more than we can understand
He lets the devil shake us just to wake us from our dreams
But he never will forsake us no matter what it sometimes seems
Well my heart is heavy
But I’m standing on the solid rock
Yeah my heart feels heavy
But I’m standing on the solid rock
The sheep know the shepherd when they hear their master talk
Ah ha ha
Alright boys take it
Oh yeah
??? [Very faint] [Spoken]
Satan is our enemy, darkness is his power
Yeah Satan is our enemy and darkness is his power
Yeah he roams the streets like a lion seeking whom next to devour
Misdirection, distraction are his subtle weapons he could use
Misdirection an' distraction are subtle weapons he could use
‘Cos you can think your hands are sinless when indifference is what you choose
Yeah that’s right, now you do it
Yeah when my working is done I’m gonna lay my burden down
When my work is done I’m gonna lay my burden down
I’m gonna leave my troubles, gonna head for higher ground
Cross over to the promised land
Yeah I’m gonna climb that mountain
Cross over to the promised land
There’s a scarlet fountain where once the cross did stand
My days are numbered
But there’s no sorrow when I sleep
My days are surely numbered
There’s no sorrow when I sleep
He comforts those who stay within his keep
Life is filled with mystery, our future's in his hands
And God controls the history more than we can understand
He lets the devil shake us just to wake us from our dreams
But he never will forsake us no matter what it sometimes seems
Well my heart is heavy
But I’m standing on the solid rock
Yeah my heart feels heavy
But I’m standing on the solid rock
The sheep know the shepherd when they hear their master talk
Ah ha ha
Alright boys take it
Oh yeah
??? [Very faint] [Spoken]
Satan is our enemy, darkness is his power
Yeah Satan is our enemy and darkness is his power
Yeah he roams the streets like a lion seeking whom next to devour
Misdirection, distraction are his subtle weapons he could use
Misdirection an' distraction are subtle weapons he could use
‘Cos you can think your hands are sinless when indifference is what you choose
Yeah that’s right, now you do it
Yeah when my working is done I’m gonna lay my burden down
When my work is done I’m gonna lay my burden down
I’m gonna leave my troubles, gonna head for higher ground
