a. go tell it on the mountain b. life uncommon c. from a distance
when i was a seeker / i sought both night and day / i asked the lord to help me / and he showed me the way
go tell it on the mountain / over the hills and ev'rywhere / go tell it on the mountain / that jesus christ is born
he made me a watchman / up on the city wall / and if i am a christian / i am the least of all
go tell it on the mountain / over the hills and ev'rywhere / go tell it on the mountain / that jesus christ is born
while shepherds kept their watching / o'er wand'ring flock by night / behold! from out of the heavens / there shown a holy light
go tell it on the mountain / over the hills and ev'rywhere / go tell it on the mountain / that jesus christ is born / go tell it on the mountain / over the hills and ev'rywhere / go tell it on the mountain / that jesus christ is born
god is watching us, god is watching us / god is watching us from a distance / god is watching us, god is watching us / god is watching us … / (from a distance)
i've heard your anguish / oh! i've heard your hearts cry out / we're tired, oh! we are weary / oh! we aren't worn out / set down your chains / ’til only faith remains / set down your chains
and lend your voices / only to sounds of freedom / oh, no longer lend your strength to that / which you wish to be free from / fill your lives with love and brav'ry / and we shall lead a life uncommon
there are plenty of people / who pray for peace / but if praying were enough / oh! it would have come to be / don't ever let your words enslave no one / and the heavens will hush themselves / to hear our voices ring out clear / with sounds of freedom / sounds of freedom
come on you unbelievers / oh! move out of the way / there is a new army coming / oh! and we are armed with faith / oh! live, oh! we must give / oh! live
and lend our voices only to sounds of freedom / no longer lend your strength / to that which you wish to be free from / fill your lives with love and brav'ry / and we shall lead / a life uncommon / fill your lives with love and brav'ry / oh! and we shall lead / a life uncommon
god is watching us, god is watching us, /
god is watching us from a distance
god is watching us, god is watching us, /
god is watching us from a distance
