I Saw A Man

(album: Connie Smith Sings Great Sacred Songs - 1966)

Last night I dreamed an angel came he took my hand he called my name
He bade me look the other way I saw a man I heard him say

He said if I be lifted up I'll draw all men to me
He turned and then I saw the nail scared hands that bled for me
I touched the hem of his garment that fell round him there
My life my heart I gave my soul was in his care

(When I awoke) my heart beat so (and in the dark) I saw a glow
It was no dream he turned my way and then I heard my Saviour say

He said if I be lifted up I'll draw all men to me
He turned and then I saw the nail scared hands that bled for me
I touched the hem of his garment that fell round him there
My life my heart I gave my soul was in his care
