The mountain stands tall

Winter, spring, summer and fall

It’s the obstacles we face

As we run our race

It teaches us lessons

That become heartfelt confessions

It reveals our fears

Before we shed a few tears

Yet it keeps us strong

Whether we’re right or wrong

It’s a sign of motivation

We use without hesitation

It teaches us who we are

Without leaving a scar

It’s made of stone

Yet it shows we’re not alone

It keeps us going

All while knowing

What’s meant to be

And the blessings we’ll see

The mountain is something real

Too difficult to conceal

It reveals our power

Hour after hour

The moments we pray

How we get through every day

It’s God’s encouraging word

The best we’ve heard

It makes us see what we’ll gain

Through heartache and pain

It represents our fight

Both day and night

It’s our shaky ground

Before we turn ourselves around

It keeps us close

Before we see what matters most

It keeps us going

All while knowing

Every moment is for us

In God we trust

We don’t run and hide

We follow our guide

As we climb the mountain
