Atop the tall mountain of my life
I stood in silent awe
as all my sins came traveling by
al the times I broke the law
I remember all the lies that I had told
and when I stole money from a purse
the time I beat a young boy up
memories that come back to curse
Oh is there a way to change my life
a better way to live
and then I heard a wee small voice
ask me, it said, 'I can forgive'
So I said to that small gentle voice
what do I have to do
and then I heard, 'Love every one
the way that I love you'
I knew not what that voice was
but it grew louder very fast
and soon I knew all things that I had done
in my unruley past
And then the voiceo'er whelmed me
and I fell down on bended knee
and then the voice whispered in my ear
'be all that you can be'
Forgive every one whose done you wrong
love your family and your foe
let all bad things just drift away
so your soul can start to grow
Do something good for someone
show kindness to a friend
get rid of habits that are bad
and let peacefullness begin
Look up and see a sunrise
at night, watch the stars that glow
pick a flower, sing a song
and watch your spirit grow
help someone old across the street
pick up a fallen child
don't let your temper run away
just keep it meek and mild
Forgive yourself, my harried friend
let your worries now decrease
keep both feet firmly planted on the ground
and watch your worries cease
And suddenly I knew, T'was God's voice I had heard
upon that wonderous day
and as I stood atop that mountain tall
'all my sind were swept away
Now I am one of God's own childewn
and He sends me down such peace and love
the only God that's ever been
The Omnipotent and Holy One
from up above
pick up a fallen child
