Background Materials, Information & Links

​Lyrics:

Life is easy when you're up on the mountain
And you've got peace of mind like you've never known.
But things change when you're down in the valley.
Don't lose faith for you're never alone.

Chorus:
          For the God on the mountain is still God in the valley.
          When things go wrong, He'll make them right.
          And the God of the good times
          is still God in the bad times.
          The God of the day is still God in the night.

You talk of faith when you're up on the mountain.
Oh but the talk comes easy when life's at its best.
But it's down in the valley of trials and temptations
That's when faith is really put to the test.
