Mountain Climber

w/m Bill and Karen Itzel 8/5/09

There was a time I used to pray
God take the mountains out of my way
Lord, if you could make it easy for me
I could be all you want me to be
But then I found out that’s not His plan
He wants me to step up and be a man
He’s given me all the tools I need
And with Him I will succeed

Chorus
I want to be…a mountain climber
I want every step I take, to take me higher
With each challenge I won’t stop
Until I reach the top
* I want to be…a mountain climber

It would be easy to just slip back
To get distracted, to get off-track
]I won’t be discouraged or misled
But focus on the task ahead
I’ve got to run and not be weak
Pushing on to reach the peak
And though it’s harder when it starts to rain
They say no pain, no gain

They say don’t climb on your own
But with God I’m not alone
