Down In The Valleys,
Over The Hills

I stood there in silence,
At the beauty that lay straight ahead,
As though it were a dream,
I felt as though I were in my bed.

I could see down through the Valleys,
Far over the hills crystal clear,
I felt as though I could stretch out,
And fly if I dare.

For once I felt free,
As the birds so high up above,
 I felt so much at peace,
God has given a true gift of love.

The calmness of the water,
The trees ever so green,
Nothing so beautiful before,
Have my eyes ever seen.

One of God's own creations,
Given to us to enjoy,
As I stand here and stare,
I'm so thankful I could cry.

We walk through our life,
As though we were blind,
Missing out on life's beauty,
God's gift of beauty so fine.
