Lyrics
High on a mountain, lives a man they call Preacher, He stays in a cabin, all alone. He has no perish, no congregation, No church family, to call his own. He spends his time prayin, and readin’ the good-book, Studies the gospel, all day long He sings-out his Praises, of the Glory & good life, … listen closely, and you’ll hear his song… Chorus: (he sings…) Rise up oh brother, sweet sister and mother, your Father is calling you out, Love one another, reach out to each other, rise up and pour out your love. Rise up dear brother, sweet sisters and mother, your Father he calls from above. Comfort each other, and love one another, pour out your blessings of love. Each and every Sunday, he travels the hillside, Stopping at each house on the way. Singing praises of wonder, to the elders & younger, Listen closely, and you’ll hear him say… Bridge – Rise Up… Rise Up… Rise Up… Rise Up… One cold Sunday mornin’, he lay still in his cabin, Too weak to travel the road. His church family gathered, and woke him with the sweet sound, Of the wonders & praises, he’d long told… Chorus: - (and they sang…) Rise up oh brother, sweet sister and mother, your Father is calling you out, Love one another, reach out to each other, rise up and pour out your love. Rise up dear brother, sweet sisters and mother, your Father he calls from above. Comfort each other, and love one another, pour out your blessings of love. Comfort each other, and love one another, pour out your blessings of love.
