Go Tell It On The Mountain
Kirk Franklin and the Family Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Come on and go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
When I was a seeker
I sought both night and day
I asked the Lord to help me
And He showed me the way
I say, go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Come on and go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
He make me a watchman
Upon a city wall
And if I am a Christian
I am the least of all
I say, go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Come on and go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Michael, row the boat ashore, hallelujah
Go, tell it on the mountain (tell it on a mountain)
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
I say, go, tell it on the mountain (tell it on a mountain)
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Jesus Christ is born (hey)
