Over The Next Hill

(album: A Believer Sings The Truth - 1979)

By the way the land is laying
I think I'd be safe in saying
That over the next hill we'll be home

It's a straight and narrow highway
No detours and no byways
And over the next hill we'll be home

From the prophets I've been hearing
I would say the end is nearing
For I see familiar landmarks all along

By the dreams that I've been dreaming
There will come a great redeeming
And over the next hill we'll be home

By the turn the tide is taking
I would say there's no mistaking
That over the next hill we'll be home

There's a place that we are nearing
That so many have been fearing
And over the next hill we'll be home

When we get there we're all hoping
That we'll find the gate is open
And there'll be a refuge from the coming storm

For the way's been long and weary
But at last the end is nearing
And over the next hill we'll be home
