The mountains loomed like giants
Casting shadows over me.
They seemed to stretch into the clouds
Far beyond where I could see.
But one day I took off in flight
And I soared into the sky
And watched the mountains slowly shrink
As the higher I would fly.
What first seemed insurmountable,
These huge mountains that I feared,
Looking from Your perspective, Lord,
So much smaller they appeared.
As I soared into the heavens,
Lord, I marveled at my view.
At last my mountains disappeared
For I saw them as You do.
