Chorus
Oh a song must rise for the spirit to descend.
Oh a song must rise once again.
Singing out God's praises and glory,
the faithful voices blend,
Oh a song must rise for the spirit to descend.
1 From the mountains to the valleys,
from the desert to the sea,
a song must rise once again.
From the voices of our leaders,
the voice of you and me,
a song must rise for the spirit to descend. (Chorus)
2 From poverty and riches,
from the voice of young and old,
a song must rise once again.
From the free and the impriso9ned, m
the timid and the bold,
a song must rise for the spirit to descend. (Chorus)
3 From every house of worship,
in every faith and tongue,
a song must rise once again.
From the villages and cities
a new song must be sung,
a song must rise for the spirit to descend. (Chorus)
