Oh to be on the mountain top Oh to be on the mountain top In God’s  presence  alone All worldly influence, stifled So close to His thrown His still soft voice,  seems so loud With the rushing, crushing crowd   But with His wonderful blessing Of time on the mountain’s crest Comes the assured reality That  for His  sake, the valley will be Best   For you can’t share His wonderful blessings  or  the Power in His name With an eagle or a tree For they already praise Him Just by there mere presence  Him to proclaim   So as I venture downward To the valley that lies below I praise, Him, for the new wisdom At the apex, He  did me show   My spirit is more tranquil More patience, I   seem to find His words, His promise, His Wisdom Are rooted in  my mind   I don’t know when,  I’ll once again A time like this to find But, He didn’t call me  for myself But for all of mankind   So as I enter the cities The rushing to and fro I know my Lord is calling To the lost, here below   And thru my interaction If  by Him I am led Might come a man’s salvation His worldly ways to  shed   Another life, another soul The angels sing, a bell does toll For, He called us It’s quite clear   It’s what we’re really Doing here   To walk His ways, To share His Word To be his awesome light By example is How we teach   To love,and share In the valley of death, Is where  He called us to preach   So as much as I love To be on the mountain, In His presence alone, He’ll use me in the valley To lead his  people to His Thrown   And when my time here is o'er,  each soul I helped to hear, Will be a shining jewel in the crown  That He said  I would, wear   He says He’s got a mansion A place  for me by  His side I know, He’ll greet me personally With arms open  wide   And then I’ll see the valley  Where he had me Roam As a pathway to His Kingdom,  Forever to call  Home.    Art, ROCK-Salt! Proctor spring 06
