In the hills and in the val-leys,
In the country and the towns,
The old folks and the young ones
wondered what was coming down.
A man who knew the heart of God came from beyond the sea.
Could it be he was the one who came to set the people free?
Could it be he was the one who came to set the people free?
Amen! Come the Lord into our midst,
Songs of life, springing from his lips.
And all who heard the words he spoke
Laid them up in their hearts.
And believed in him whom He had sent.
verse 2
The mothers and the fa-thers,
Their daughters and their sons
All somewhere deep inside their hearts
Were waiting for the one;
The one who knew the heart of God, the One whose eyes could see.
Could it be he was the one who came to set the people free?
Could it be he was the one who came to set the people free?
Amen! Come the Lord into our midst,
Songs of life, springing from his lips.
And all who heard the words he spoke
Laid them up in their hearts.
And believed in him whom He had sent.
verse 3
In the world of flesh and the world of soul,
All creatures heard the news.
The one who taught the way of life
Was good and clean and true;
The one who knew the heart of God, the one whose eyes could see.
Could it be he was the one who came to set the people free?
Could it be he was the one who came to set the people free?
Amen! Come the Lord into our midst,
Songs of life, springing from his lips.
And all who heard the words he spoke
Laid them up in their hearts.
And believed in him whom He had sent.
Amen! Come the Lord into our midst,
Songs of life, springing from his lips.
And all who heard the words he spoke
Laid them up in their hearts.
And believed in him whom He had sent.
And believed in him whom He had sent.
