The Hilltop Perspective
Things just look a little different
when you think you soon may die;
you begin to shift attention
to the land beyond the sky.
When you can’t keep up with doing,
and you don’t need what you’ve got,
then the big dreams you once cherished
somehow do not mean a lot.
If you know the Lord, you’ll manage
still to keep a steady chin
and not spend your time in worrying
over things that might have been.
If you’ve come to know the Savior
and to His Word you really hold,
you will look into the future
with excitement, staying bold.
Some may speak about “the valley;”
that’s not how it has to be.
Think of it as the last hill top,
where God’s glory you will see.
Now’s the time to sing of mercy
God supplies from day to day,
and the joy of His salvation
as you pause to read and pray.
Why not spend some time in singing
the old songs that bless the soul?
And keep telling that sweet story
of the Christ who made you whole.
