A VOICE FROM ON HIGH I hear a voice calling, it must be our Lord He's calling from heaven on high I hear a voice calling, I've gained the reward In the land where we never shall die He died and he paid a dear price for me He died on the hill so that I should go free And I'll follow his footsteps up the narrow way And be ready to meet him when he calls on that day I hear a voice calling, it must be our Lord He's calling from heaven on high I hear a voice calling, I've gained the reward In the land where we never shall die He died on the cross, that old rugged cross So we would be saved from our sins and not lost And I'll follow his footsteps up the narrow way And be ready to meet him when he calls on that day I hear a voice calling, it must be our Lord He's calling from heaven on high I hear a voice calling, I've gained the reward In the land where we never shall die In the land where we never shall die In the land where we never shall die | |

On August 15th 2002, in Hamburg, New York, Bob Dylan introduced the latest gospel cover song into his song repertoire; opening the show with "A VOICE FROM ON HIGH", a song written by Bill Monroe and Bessie Lee Mauldin. One day later, in Toronto, Canada, this beautiful song was performed again already, and also three days after that in Southampton. Three more times it appeared that August, in Omaha, in Sioux Falls, and in Fargo.
[Since almost two weeks before the live debut a journalist for a Worcester newspaper by mistake mentioned the title in his review as the opening song for the first show of the tour on August 2nd (instead of "HUMMINGBIRD"), it is rumored to have been included already on that cue sheet.] In October in Eugene "A VOICE FROM ON HIGH" appeared in the middle of the set, but as in Omaha in August it once more preceded an acoustic "SEŅOR". Biblical references: ~ Matthew 7 ~ Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few. ~ Romans 5 ~ For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person - though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die - but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. ~ Philippians 3 ~ But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.  |
