He Was By My Side

Climbed up on the mountain
Fingers almost touched the sky
Even had to duck my head
As a cloud came tumbling by

Felt I was invincible
Amongst the blue and gray
Maybe God had rested here
On that holy seventh day

I could see for miles
Air was clear and bright
Sun shining through the trees
Was a visual delight

Leaves they seemed to sing
A song upon the breeze
While floating to the ground
Asking " Catch me if you please"

Then I saw an eagle
Soaring in the sky
Looked at me suspiciously
Giving me that eagle eye

Then a little chipmunk
Came by to say hello
Cheeks stuffed with acorns
Think he's wanting me to go

Saw a white tailed deer
With big brown Bambie eyes
Quickly turn and run away
Her, I really did surprise

So I will take this day
Arrest it deep inside
All the beauty that I've seen
Cause He was by my side
