Dolly Parton - Calm On The Water

[Intro]
D G A D
(x2)

[Verse 1]
D
In a dream I was walkin’ in a beautiful field
D G A D
I was gathering flowers at the foot of a hill
D
When a bright light descended and it spread o’er the land
D G A D
Jesus stood on the mountain and He held out His hand

[Verse 2]
D
Then He came down from the mountain, headed down to the sea
D G A D
And the children strowed flowers in the path at His feet
D
And He was filled with compassion and the beasts from the wild
D G A D
Came as gentle as lambs and they all walked at His side

[Chorus]
D
There’s a calm on the water, a hush in the crowd
F# G
There’s peace in the valley, there’s a stillness about
D G F# Bm
There’s a light in the darkness, there’s joy in His love
D G Bm A D
Ain’t that a wonderful feelin’, let us lift Him up

[Instrumental]
D G A D
(x2)

[Verse 3]
D
Then He suddenly vanished from the crowd down below
D G A D
He ap—peared on the mountain in a radiant glow
D
He said your questions are many but the answer is love
D G A D
I’ll draw all men unto me if I be lifted up

[Chorus]
D
There’s a calm on the water, a hush in the crowd
F# G
There’s peace in the valley, there’s a stillness about
D G F# Bm
There’s a light in the darkness, there’s joy in His love
D G Bm A D
There is life everlastin’, let us lift Him up

[Bridge]
D
He said if I (He said if I) be lifted up (be lifted up)
G A D
He said if I be lifted up (what did he say?)
D
He said if I (He said if I) be lifted up (be lifted up)
G A D
He said if I be lifted up

Eb
Let’s lift Him higher (higher) and higher (higher)
Ab Bb Eb
And higher and higher each day (Let’s lift Him up)
Eb
He said if I (He said if I) be lifted up (be lifted up)
Ab Bb Eb
Oh, if I be lifted up

[Chorus]
Eb
There’s a calm on the water, a hush in the crowd
Ab Bb Eb
There’s peace in the valley, there’s a stillness about
Eb
There’s a light in the darkness, and joy in His love
Ab Bb Eb
It’s a wonderful feelin’, lift Him up

[Outro]
Eb
He said if I (He said if I) be lifted up (be lifted up)
Ab Bb Eb
He said if I be lifted up (that’s what He said)
Eb
He said if I (He said if I) be lifted up (be lifted up)
Ab Bb Eb
He said if I be lifted up (be lifted up)
Eb
He said if I (He said if I) be lifted up (be lifted up)
Ab Bb Eb
He said if I be lifted up (be lifted up)
