I only have some of the lyrics, but I want to find who did this song:

Lonely by day empty and cold
Only to say lo and behold
Deep in the night down in my brain
Glorious sight this soul has seen

There's a whale on the hill
You just can't kill for Jesus
There's a whale on the hill
Don't build no heathen temples
'Cause the Lord's done laid his hands down
There's a whale on the hill

Everyone's talking 'bout the gospel story
Some shall sink and some shall rise

That's all the lyrics I could make out from a bad tape.

LO AND BEHOLD
James Taylor

Lonely by day, empty and cold,
Only to say lo and behold.
Deep in the night, down in my dreams,
Glorious sight this soul has seen.

There's a well on the hill,
You just can't kill for Jesus,
There's a well on the hill, let it be.
Don't build no heathen temples
Where the Lord has done laid his hand, now,
There's a well on the hill, let it be

Everyone's talking 'bout the gospel story,
Some shall sink and some shall rise.
Everyone's talking 'bout the train to glory.
Long, long time till it gets here to you, baby.

There's a well on the hill,
You just can't kill for Jesus,
There's a well on the hill, let it be.
Don't build no heathen temples
Where the Lord has done laid his hand, now,
There's a well on the hill, let it be


There ya go!

Not "whale" but "well". The title is "Lo And Behold"; lyrics are HERE.

This one made more sense with the whale on the hill. There are a couple of lulus at the site posted by Masato.
