The Lord gave me this song just hours after learning that a dear friend had been diagnosed with cancer. She had taken her burden to the altar at church that morning and was surrounded by family, friends, love and prayers. I didn't know how her story would play out but I knew God did...He wrote her story. Lucille was a treasure. She endured so much suffering with a smile on her face and praise on her lips. She fought the good fight and kept the faith. She finished her race and I know the Lord welcomed her with open arms!
Lyrics below:
BEYOND THIS MOUNTAIN
VERSE I
UP AHEAD I SEE ON THE HORIZON
A CLIMB THAT I'M NOT SURE I HAVE THE STRENGTH TO MAKE
BUT I KNOW MY JESUS WILL NOT LEAD ME
TO A PATH OUTSIDE THE REACH OF HIS EMBRACE
CHORUS
BEYOND THIS MOUNTAIN I SEE MY SAVIOR
BEYOND THIS TRIAL THERE'S A RESTING PLACE
THOUGH I MAY QUESTION I WILL NOT WAVER
I WILL WALK IN FAITH TRUSTING HIS UNFAILING GRACE
VERSE II
WHEN THE RUGGED WAY LEAVES ME SO WEARY
AND ALL I WANT TO DO IS RUN AWAY AND HIDE
I KNOW THAT MY JESUS WILL PROTECT ME
AND HE WILL GUIDE ME SAFELY TO THE OTHER SIDE
