I looked ahead at the mountain and it seemed
to reach clear up into the sky.
I watched as over my head beautiful clouds
went peacefully floating by.

I wondered at my own strength to be able to
make it all the way to the top.
Even though I was completely out of breath
I was determined I would not stop.

For our life every day is much like a mountain,
challenges for every step we must take.
There is always a steady hand there to lead us
through and guide every move we make.

Whenever you are faced with this long journey
and where life's pathway will lead you.
Don't ever be afraid and turn away or turn back,
God is waiting there and will see you through.

The path to the top was now finished and done,
I looked behind and to my surprise
This huge mountain I had feared was so very small
I could not believe my own eyes.

The mountain had seemed overwhelming to me,
doubts if I could make it on my own.
But the one thing I had forgotten in that short time,
is we never face this life journey alone.

So when you too must climb the mountain of life,
look back to see where you have been.
There will always be a winding long path we take,
but faith and hope will carry us to the end.

Don't get discouraged and decide you cannot win
you can make it with determination and will.
And don't be surprised when you too look back
to find your big mountain was only a hill.
