The Mountain and The Valley

THE MOUNTAIN AND THE VALLEY

I have been on the mountain high
Saw the sunshine of His smile
Walked with God along its lofty peak
And talked with Him all the while

Where the breeze was gentle on my face
And the sky was blue above
My heart it sang in praise to Him
Uplifted by His sweet love

I knew such peace and joy
As my feet trod the higher ground
For on the mountain peak I knew
God’s presence all around

I have been in the valley deep
Walked its grief strewn floor
But in the silence of its darkness
I have known His sweet presence more

Over rocks of trouble on the ground
The way ahead I could not see
But God was walking by my side
And His mighty hand was guiding me

I have known joy and sorrow
Sweet laughter and bitter tears
The mountain peak of hope and happiness
And the valley of doubts and fears

But the God of the mountain high
Is still God of the valley wide
And where He should choose to lead me
I can journey the path when He is by my side
