Calm On The Water
Written & Recorded by Dolly Parton
(No Capo)
Intro.: |(D) / / / |(D) / / / |(D) / / / |(G)(A)(D) / | x 2
In a (D) dream I was walkin' in a beautiful field
I was gathering flowers at the (G)foot of (A)a (D)hill
When a bright light descended and it spread o'er the land
Jesus stood on the mountain and He (G)held out (A)His (D)hand
Then He came (D) down from the mountain, headed down to the)sea
And the children strowed flowers in the (G)path at (A)His (D)feet
And He was filled with compassion and the beasts from the wild
Came as gentle as lambs and they all (G)walked at (A)His (D)side
(Chorus)
There's a (D)calm on the water, a hush in the crowd
There's (F#)peace in the valley, there's a (G)stillness about
There's a (D)light in the (G)darkness, there's (F#)joy in His (Bm)love
Ain't (A)that a (D) wonderful (G)feelin', let us (Bm)lift (A)Him (D)up
Solo: |(D) / / / |(D) / / / |(D) / / / |(G)(A)(D) / | x 2
Then He (D) suddenly vanished from the crowd down below
Reappeared on the mountain in a (G)ra-(A)diant (D)glow
He said your questions are many but the answer is love
I'll draw all men unto me if I (G)be (A)lifted (D)up
(Chorus)
There's a (D)calm on the water, a hush in the crowd
There's (F#)peace in the valley, there's a (G)stillness about
There's a (D)light in the (G)darkness, there's (F#)joy in His (Bm)love
Ain't (A/C#)that a (D) wonderful (G)feelin', let us (Bm)lift (A)Him (D)up
He said if (D)I be lifted up, he said if (G)I be (A)lifted (D)up, what did he say
He said if I be lifted up, he said if (G)I be (A)lifetd (D)up (Bb)
Let's lift Him (Eb)higher and higher and (Ab)higher and (Bb)higher each (Eb)day
Let's lift Him up, he said if I be lifted up, oh if (Ab)I be (Bb)lifted (Eb)up
(Chorus)
There's a (Eb)calm on the water, a hush in the crowd
There's (Ab)peace in the (Bb)valley, there's a (Eb)stillness about
There's a light in the darkness, and joy in His love
It's a (Ab) wonderful (Bb)feelin', lift Him (Eb)up
He said if (Eb)I be lifted up, he said if (Ab)I be (Bb)lifted (Eb)up, that's what he said
