Walk Down this Mountain

Darkness settles in and hovers over like a cloud. It is suffocating and there seems as if there is no relief. Suffering and sadness is all around. Everything appears to be hopeless and bleak.

But this is just an illusion. Through the darkest moments in life something wonderful and exciting is taking place. Amidst the struggle and suffering a seed is being planted, one that will help fuel growth and strength. So as you struggle with each step remember the One who created you is right next to you, picking you up when you fall and holding you as you cry because this pain will not always be with you, He will be. Someway, somehow you will be a better person for going through this rocky terrane. Do not lose hope because without hope the world crumbles. Have faith in your Lord and Savior because He will save you and make the sun shine upon you once again.

James 1:2-4

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."

John 14:1-3, 27

"Don not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

Walk Down This Mountain

~Bebo Norman

It's a better place

Standing high upon this mountain

I've seen your face

Full of the light that only this height can show

blistered hand is what you you've given

But you've been given all you'll ever need

To know

Chorus:

So walk down this mountain

With your heart held high

Follow in the footsteps of your maker

With this love that's gone before you

And these people at your side

If you offer up your broken cup

You will taste the meaning of this life

Hey hey

Well it's a common ground

And I see you're all still standing

But just look around and you'll find

The very face of God

He's walking down into the distance

He's walking down to where the masses are

Chorus

This life

We're standing in a place of peace

And this is how the world should be

How the world should be

(Walk down this mountain with your heart held high)

How the world should be

(Walk down this mountain with you heart held high)

How the world should be

(Walk down this mountain with your heart held high)

How the world should be
