Recreating A View

I have some tables that are created as views in a database.
Everytime I modify table structure the view needs to be recreated.

I am developing a simple Stored Procedure which takes table name as parameter and drops teh view first and then cretaes it again.
The statements required would be

drop view viewname
create view viewname as
select * from ffship.dbo.viewname


The error I get is that

'CREATE VIEW' must be the first statement in a query batch

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,
Kiran.
