On Top of the Mountain

On top of the mountain the eye can see What down in the valley is hidden from thee Down in the valley there's things that conceal But up on the mountain there's much to reveal When you're down in the valley of worry and woe Taking your knocks and your licks with nowhere to go When you're just about ready to give up on life Because you are having so much strife Remember those mountains you once were on Where peace was abundant and a race was won When the future seemed clear as a crystal stream When you were on top of everything Remember the One who got you there When you humbled your knee and you said a pray Not for a day or a week but more then a year Now each time that you prayed it you were sincere What has happened to faith, the faith of a child Why has life dimmed it truth when it should of gone wild See when your down in the valley of worry and woe That's when your faith has its best chance to grow Now faith without works we are told it is dead But when it's in action those fears will have fled So if you want to see those mountains anew Put your faith in God then do what He tells you to do This poem was written on 10/12/14 by Charles Reese
