Go, tell it on the mountain

1.
He possessed no riches No home to lay his head; He saw the needs of others And cared for them instead
2.
He reached out and touched them The blind, the deaf, the lame; He spoke and listened gladly To anyone who came
3.
Some turned away in anger, With hatred in the eye; They tried him and condemned him Then led him out to die
4.
'Father, now forgive them' Upon the cross he said; In three more days he was alive And risen from the dead
5.
He still comes to people His life moves through the lands; He uses us for speaking He touches with our hands
