Mingo Falls, Cherokee Nc

Mingo Falls, Cherokee NC

Come walk with me and rest your soul.
Go to where the waters flow,
and hear the music of natures’ best,
see how much we’re truly blessed.

Into the forest we’ll walk today
and see God’s splendor on display,
cascading down the mountain side;
Mingo Falls in all her pride.
We’ll sit awhile among the trees
and feel the cool, cool mountain breeze,
reflect upon the native’s ground,
enjoy these treasures we have found.

The water‘s pure, the air is clean
and everything is fresh and green,
for life is good despite our pain
when we take note of healing rain.

Come walk with me, forget despair,
enjoy these blessings that we share.
Upon this mountain, you and I
can spread our wings, learn to fly.
