ECHO FROM THE MOUNTAIN

From deep within the valley
comes a soft persistent call,
it drifts down from the mountain
each soul’s yearning to enthral.

The fragrance and the promise
of wonders not foretold,
fleeting images of splendor
our hearts given, He will mold.

From high upon the summit
He’ll lead all to better see,
His perfect love and mercy
His plan with clarity.

Equip all with His perfect truth
from on high He’ll point the way,
show us how to be disciples
and never cease to pray.

With all that He has given
with His very breath replete,
drawing all to climb the summit
new life and God to meet.
