Standing on the mountain side,
Wondering whether I'll climb or fall.
Knowing down's a long hard ride,
And up's too far to crawl.

Searching for a holding place,
Somewhere to catch my breath.
Seeing not even the smallest space,
To hide from emotional death.

Valleys and Mountains lie before me,
I'm standing on shaky ground,
Valleys and Mountains lie before me,
Am I valley or mountain bound?

As I gaze up the sun shines clear,
No clouds to block my sight.
By the rays, your love shines near,
Guiding me with your light.

In you, Ive found my anchor rope,
To ease through the ups and downs.
Loving you restored all hope,
Of a life on solid ground.

Valleys and mountains lie before me,
But I'm standing oh so strong,
Valleys and mountains lie before me,
But the shaky grounds now gone.

The summits now within my reach,
And soft seems the valley floor.
All crags and canyons I now breach,
Till my fear can rule no more.

Valleys and mountains we conquer together,
And my fear can rule no more....

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.
