James Harvest Barclay - Hymn lyrics

HYMN

Barclay James Harvest

1977

Valley's deep and the mountains so high, if you want to

see God you've got to move to the other side.

You stand up there with your head in the clouds, don't try

to fly you know you might not come down.

Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down.

Jesus came down from Heaven to earth

The People said it was a virgin birth

Jesus came down from Heaven to earth

The People said it was a virgin birth

He told great stories of the Lord

And said he was the saviour of us all

He told great stories of the Lord

And said he was the saviour of us all

For this they/we killed him,

nailed him up high

He rose again as if to ask us why

Then he ascended intop the sky

As if to say in God alone you soar

As if to say in God alone we fly.

Valley's deep and the mountains so high, if you want to

see God you've got to move to the other side.

You stand up there with your head in the clouds, don't try

to fly you know you might not come down.

Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down.

(John Lees)
