What the Mountains Used to Hide

On life's valley shore,
The future can't be seen,
You wonder what is on the other side.

When you reach the top,
You realize you've found,
The answers that the mountains used to hide.

Life on earth is like wandering aimlessly through a valley and being seperated from a whole other world behind a mountain range.  Doesn't it frustrate you?  Knowing that there is something you can't see that is so beautiful and so close?  Sometimes I think we forget that we can get to that beautiful world by climbing the mountains that are blocking our vision.  It IS hard, it DOES take a while but I think it might be worth it once you find the answers that the mountains used to hide.

I believe in the sun even when it's not shining,
I believe in love even when I'm alone,
I believe in God even when he is silent,
I believe the answers will be known.

How many people can say that they know these things?  If you have never seen the sun, how do you know that it shines?  Faith can answer these questions if you will let it.  But if you don't allow the help of faith's power, and change your own perspective, you will never be satisfied and you will always have questions.  It makes me sad to see some people personally go out of their own way to deny the power faith can give them.

How can you say you know all things,
And this life isn't fair?
Don't you know you understand,
Somehow, sometime, somewhere?

We don't know all things, and that's the reason there is a range of mountains (questions) in front of us.  If we let Christ into our lives, and humble ourselves, we will have enough strength to climb the mountains of our lives and find all of our life's questions, and what the mountains used to hide.  I testify of these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.
