Mountain of God

Thought that I was all alone
Broken and afraid
But You were there with me
Yes, You were there with me

Even though the journey’s long
And I know the road is hard
Well, the One who’s gone before me
He will help me carry on
After all that I’ve been through
Now I realize the truth
That I must go through the valley
To stand upon the mountain of God

As I travel on the road
That You have lead me down
You are here with me
Yes, You are here with me
I have need for nothing more
Oh, now that I have found
That You are here with me
Yes, You are here with me

I confess from time to time
I lose my way
But You are always there
To bring me back again

thank you mac. Your words speak volumes. They convict and speak truth.
why is it that the road is sometimes so hard to see? Maybe I’m not even on the road. The journey is long. Why do I make it unnecessarily longer that it has to be? Why do I try to blaze my own trail? Take things into my own hands?

I am walking through the valley and in the shade I do not see Him there. I deceive myself with His absence. I ‘think that I am all alone’. I am broken. My heart is broken, and it makes me scared because I have failed Him. The valley seems to swallow me and the mountain grows taller and taller. The climb will be difficult

But the reality that speaks and keeps me alive and strong is that there is ‘One who’s gone before me/ He will help me carry on’.

And I have no choice. I must go through this valley. For even on the mountain of God there are still valleys below.

Though, His promise remains.

"...i guess i've always hoped that earnestly seeking God would bring joy. and i still believe it does. but it also brings sorrow and anger and hardship. this seems to be part of how God works with people. we learn from the pain of life as well as the pleasure. perhaps more from the pain."
