Lyrics
UP ON THE MOUNTAIN
VERSE I:
He went up to the mountain
When the multitudes came His way
He taught them how to live and love
And taught them how to pray
He healed them of their blindness
And said be not afraid
He told them that His daily bread
Was sufficient for every day
CHORUS:
Up on the mountain
I sit with Him
Up on the mountain
I pray with Him
Down from the mountain
I will follow Him
Follow my Master home
Verse II:
(He said) Be ye therefore perfect
Love your enemies
Pray for them who do you worng
Turn the other cheek
You must do unto others
As you want done unto you
And all the works that I have done
You shall also do
(Chorus)
Release:
To know yourself as He does
Enables you to do
All the works that He did
Everything He's asking you
(Chorus repeats)

Up on the mountain
I'm gonna get down on my knees
Up on the mountain
Yean, yeah, I'm gonna beg my Master please
Down from the mountain
Take me by the hand, I wanna, I wanna follow Him
Follow my Master home.
