Go Tell It on the Mountain / Life Uncommon / From a Distance (Medley) lyrics

[Part I: Go Tell It on the Mountain]

[Verse 1]
When I was a seeker
I sought both night and day
I asked the Lord to help me
And He showed me the way

[Chorus]
Oh, go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

[Verse 2]
He made me a watchman
Up on the city wall
If I am a Christian
I am the least of all

[Chorus]
Oh, go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
Jesus Christ is born
[Verse 3]
While shepherds kept their watching
Over wandering flock by night
Behold, from out of the heavens
There shown a holy light, light

[Chorus]
Oh, go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain, on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the, on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

[Part II: From a Distance]

[Chorus]
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

[Part III: Life Uncommon]
[Verse 1]
I've heard your anguish
Oh, I've heard your hearts cry out
We are tired, oh, we are weary
Oh, we aren't worn out
Set down your chains
'Til only faith remains
Set down your chains

[Chorus]
And lend your voices only, only to sounds of freedom
Oh, no longer lend your strength to that which you wish to be free from
Fill your life with love and bravery
And you shall lead a life uncommon

[Bridge]
There are plenty of people that 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

[Verse 2]
Come on you unbelievers
Oh, move out of the way
There's, oh, there's a new army coming
Oh, and you know we are armed with faith
Oh, live
Oh, we must give
Oh, live
[Chorus]
And lend our voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend your strength that which you wish to be free from
Fill your lives with love and bravery
Oh, and we shall lead a life uncommon
Fill your lives with love and bravery
Oh, and we shall lead a life uncommon

[Part II Reprise: From a Distance]

[Chorus]
God is watching us, God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance
God is watching us, oh, God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance
