Lyrics

Medley
    Sung by Jewel on Joy


When i was a seeker 
I sought both night and day 
I asked the lord to help me 
And he showed me the way 

go tell it on the mountain 
Over the hills and ev'rywhere 
Go tell it on the mountain 
That jesus christ is born 

He made me a watchman 
Up on the city wall 
And if i am a christian 
I am the least of all 

Go tell it on the mountain 
Over the hills and ev'rywhere 
Go tell it on the mountain 
That Jesus Christ is born 

While shepherds kept their watching 
O'er wand'ring flock by night
Behold! From out of the heavens
There shown a holy light 

Go tell it on the mountain 
Over the hills and ev'rywhere 
Go tell it on the mountain 
That Jesus Christ is born 
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and ev'rywhere 
Go tell it on the mountain 
That Jesus Christ is born 

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) 

I've heard your anguish
Oh! I've heard your hearts cry out
We're tired, Oh! We are weary 
Oh! We aren't worn out 
Set down your chains 
’til only faith remains 
Set down your chains 

And lend your voices 
Only to sounds of freedom 
Oh, no longer lend your strength to that
Which you wish to be free from 
Fill your lives with love and brav'ry 
And we shall lead a life uncommon 

There are plenty of people
Who 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 
O hear our voices ring out clear
With sounds of freedom
Sounds of freedom 

Come on you unbelievers
Oh! Move out of the way 
There is a new army coming 
Oh! And we are armed with faith 
Oh! Live, oh! we must give
Oh! Live 

And lend our voices only to sounds of freedom
No longer lend your strength 
To that which you wish to be free from 
Fill your lives with love and brav'ry 
And we shall lead 
A life uncommon 
Fill your lives with love and brav'ry
Oh! And we shall lead
A life uncommon 

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
