Maestoso (A Hymn in the Roof of the World) - Lyrics - Barclay James Harvest

It's so strange that I should meet you Here upon the highest point of earth It's safe to say we've proved our worth In others' eyes today And the flags that we both hold Are altogether vain and meaningless. These standards that we've strived to bless, It's time we threw away. We should fall upon our knees And thank sweet God we are alive. Sweet God we are alive. Sweet God we are alive! All across the face of earth The clouds are gathering to hide the ways of man. There is no earthly plan Up here at Heaven's door, And the air is pure enough To wipe away all doubts of innocence. Repent! Rejoice! Make recompense For now and evermore. We should fall upon our knees And thank sweet God we are alive. Sweet God we are alive. Sweet God we are alive!
