A Light From The Mountains

from Turn the Water on, Boy! by The Coal Porters

/

lyrics

There’s a light shining from the mountains
Shining from the mountains
Driving me home

A stranger, in a stranger land
I lost my way, I lost her hand, I lost my way
Darkness fell, long shadows grew, I cried over what to do
‘Cause I was all alone, so far from home
Please take me down to the Hallowed Ground

There’s a light shining from the mountains,
Shining from the mountains
Driving me home
There’s a light shining from the mountains,
Shining from the mountains
Driving me home

I said, “hey Mister, have you come for me?
To walk the hill up to Calvary…up to Calvary?”
Forsook my family, my bestest friend,
Can you call me to the end?
I’m all alone, far from home
Show me that grace…in the sweetest place

There’s a light shining from the mountains
Shining from the mountains
Driving me home

There’s a light shining from the mountains
Shining from the mountains
Driving me home

Sign me up to the Angel Band, in that cloudy land
I’ll make a sound to rock the ages
A full and ancient tone
A song to call me home

There’s a light shining from the mountains,
Shining from the mountains
Come to carry me home

There’s a light shining from the mountains,
Shining from the mountains
Come to carry me home

There’s a light, there’s a light, there’s a light
Come to carry me home
There’s a light, there’s a light, there’s a light
Come to carry me home

There’s a light, there’s a light, there’s a light
Come to carry me home
There’s a light, there’s a light, there’s a light
Come to carry me home
There’s a light, there’s a light, there’s a light
Come to carry me home
