For if it takes me
near to You
As I struggle up it's
height,
Then the climbing will
be glorious
If it leads me to Your
light.
Don't give me an easy
path
Lined with colorless
hue,
For I can suffer the
dark valley
If it draws me close
to You.
Take me the long way
round
To show me richest
treasures,
The shortest way will
only give
Such hollow fleeting
pleasure.
I don't care to be
alone
Left on a voiceless
shelf,
To empathize with
another's pain
Is a gift of priceless
wealth.
So take me up the
mountain Lord
I can go anywhere with
You,
You give me all I
need to climb
To see life from
Your view.
Then I can cry
out from a mountain
top
You are full of love,
Oh lift me to the
heights of joy
Found in You above.
