Follow the lyrics and sing along:
It was to the hill of vision,
That a young man was called,
And upon it he sounded,
The day of the Lord,
And there he had a vision,
Of a people near and far,
Who were there to be gathered,
And now here we are.
He had spoken with professors,
And spoken with priests,
But they all spoke of war,
And not justice nor peace,
So he turned to the inward teacher,
Who’d been there since the start,
The divine Light of Jesus,
In all people’s hearts.
Well the judges didn’t like it,
They threw him in jail,
But the word kept on spreading,
All over the world;
Be patterns, be examples,
Wherever you may come,
Answering that of God,
That is in everyone.
It was to the hill of vision,
That a young man was called,
And upon it he sounded,
The day of the Lord,
And there he had a vision,
Of a people near and far,
Who were there to be gathered,
And now here we are.
