AS WE STOOD UPON THE MOUNTAIN
YOU LET ME SOAR ABOVE THE TREES
YOU GAVE ME WINGS FOR LIFT OFF
SWEET BREEZES BLOWN FOR ME

THE MOMENTS ON TOP THE MOUNTAIN
FOREVER TO EMBRACE
I WANTED TO REMAIN THERE
AT THAT SACRED PLACE

HAND ME YOUR HAND, LORD
NO MOUNTAIN TOP IN SIGHT
HAND ME YOUR HAND, LORD
UNTILL I SEE YOUR LIGHT

I CAN BARELY HEAR YOU LORD,
PLEASE HURRY UP TO ME
I AM GROWING WEARY
THE WAY IS GETTING ROUGH
YOU'VE SHOWN ME HOW TO MAKE THESE STEPS
THESE STEPS, I'LL START TO TAKE

NOW I SEE THE CLEARING
YOUR LIGHT IS SHINING THROUGH
I SAID I LOST DIRECTIONS
THE VALLEY I CAME THROUGH

EACH STEP I TOOK,
EACH STEP I LOOKED,
THOUGH I DID NOT SEE  
NOR FEEL YOU HOLDING TO MY HAND
I KNEW YOU WERE WITH ME,
NOW FAITH I UNDERSTAND.

Dear Marcy; This glorious poem is a perfect portrait of what faith is all about. You have described it wonderfully.
"Faith is only Faith, when it's all we're hanging onto"...I had that on my fridge for years till it fell apart, great job!
HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!  Love, Ellie

So many times when I could barely hear Him, and made my mistakes by being impatient. It took me while to learn about faith. Wonderful poem

Marcy I love it!
Faith is a step into the unknown, but knowing God is waiting there to catch us, or make the path stretch across. Well said, well done

Marcy -you present such a lovely poem here--and a good message. The Just shall live by faith--and according to your poem here--it's the only way to fly too--trusting the unseen hand of God to soar to new heights, and land safely in the Haven of rest.  Thank you for the lovely thoughts(p.s. at times we all have our misgivings & questionings but we must just hang in there believing & trusting God for the positive outcome)

Thanks for your sweet replies. I receive so much more from this group than I can give. I
appreciate everyone of you. Each poem, written with the love of the Lord in their heart, in some way touches people but ALWAYS sings a love praise to Jesus. As He loves us lets just be reminded to give back to Him.
Blessings, marcy
