GET YE UP (INTO THE HILLS)
 
Marcus Hummon
 
 
I left my mother and my father; my wife, and my life too
I got a room in a cave to get close to You
I pray without ceasing; I get hungry and I faint
I talk to the angels; and I hallucinate
I hallucinate...

'Cause out here in the desert I've got time to think
About everything from the planet to how to fix the kitchen sink
And my soul comes up like a block of ice
In a dark river I feel the water rise

CHORUS
 Get ye up into the hills
 Listen for the voice, that's small and still
 Inside me, ask without fear
Will there be, (Lord),
A next thousand years?

So I went to Jerusalem, to pitch my tent
On the Mt. of Olives, waitin' for the end
'Til the Masad captured me, and they put me on a plane
Said we don't want your kind around here
Get on back to the U. S. of A.

BRIDGE
Sometimes I get scared, like I'm talkin' to myself
Like there ain't no Heaven, sure enough no hell
Then the rain comes down,
And the earth looks up
And I stand out there naked, dancing
Trying to fill my cup...
Fill my cup

REPEAT CHORUS

Get ye up...into the hills...
