Life's Mountain

Do you know what its like ? Life is like the highest mountain And we are climbing day by day- The path is strewn with happy flowers And stumbling stones along the way Sometimes the tears wash out the footprints Along the pathway as we climb, Stumbling blindly toward the hill top Through the maze of given time Scars upon the heart grown deeper With each loved one that he calls, And our weary hearts grow heavy As we face the mountain wall Sometimes we'd fall were it not for That steadying hand of God To hold us up, to fill our cup, As daily on we trod But, oh, the joy when on that day We've scaled that mountain side- Saw the flowers at the pathways end, For all the tears we've cried So, lean heavy on that steady arm He'll guide you to the brim- Across the rocks to the mountain top And eternal rest with him
