THERE'S A LIGHT ON THE MOUNTAIN (Melvin Goins)
By: Dixie Hall (BMI)

VERSE 1: THERE'S A LIGHT ON THE MOUNTAIN
SHINING BRIGHT IN MY MIND
AND IT'S CALLING ME BACK
THRU THE PASSAGE OF TIME
AND THE DEARLY DEPARTED
ARE A HEAVENLY SIGHT
THERE'S A LIGHT ON THE MOUNTAIN TONIGHT

CHORUS: OH BLESSED LIGHT ON THE MOUNTAIN
IT'S CALLING ME HOME
TOO LONG I HAVE WANDERED
IN THIS WORLD ALONE
THERE'S A LIGHT ON THE MOUNTAIN
IT'S SHINING ME IN
FORGIVEN AND CLEANSED OF MY SIN

VERSE 2: THERE WAS LIGHT ON THE MOUNTAIN
MANY YEARS AGO
WHEN THE LORD SENT AN ANGEL
TO TAKE MY MOTHER HOME
MANY YEARS HAVE GONE BY
AND IT'S MY JOURNEYS' END
THERE'S A LIGHT ON THE MOUNTAIN AGAIN

VERSE 3: THRU THE GLOOM OF THE FOREST
HE HAS SHOWN ME THE WAY
TURNED THE DARKNESS OF NIGHT
TO THE BRIGHTEST OF DAY
NOW MY SOUL IS AT PEACE
AND MY VISION IS BRIGHT
THERE'S A LIGHT ON THE MOUNTAIN TONIGHT
