I'm praying tonight (and for the next 2 months)
in the great cathedral of the Rockies!
Here's a photo I took from the front seat of the car,
driving from Denver towards Georgetown...
I raise my eyes to the mountains,,
from whence shall come my help...
I lift up my eyes to the mountains, Lord,
waiting and looking for you in my prayer...
Am I waiting for you
to come down from the mountain
or do you wait for me to come up
to find and meet you high in the clouds
in a mountaintop chapel of grace?
Though I hope you’re somehow above all my troubles
- I pray you're right in the midst of them -
ready to reach out and lift me up,
to mend and heal me and bring me your peace,
to meet me where I need you most...
You're the God of all the hills and the valleys
that shape the terrain of my up and down life;
it's you who level the ground I walk on
and steady my steps lest I stumble and fall...
It's you who help me scale to great heights,
and it's you who guide me and keep me safe
when I walk in a valley of deepening darkness,
When my sadness eclipses the sun...
You're the God of my hills and my valleys, Lord,
you're the peace I seek and the peace I need
as I make my way from day to day
with you as my close companion...
Give me strength to climb my mountains, Lord
and hope enough to find the will
to walk with you when I'm brought down low,
when I'm longing to rise and find the peace
that comes but from you alone...
God of my hills and valleys,
on the mountains I’ll bow my life
to you who set me there;
and in the valleys I’ll lift up my eyes
to you who find me there...
God of my hills and valleys:
protect me while I'm awake
and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.

I've walked among the shadows
You wiped my tears away
And I've felt the pain of heartbreak
And I've seen the brighter days
And I've prayed prayers to heaven
from my lowest place
And I have held the blessings
God you give and take away
No matter what I have, Your grace is enough
No matter where I am, I'm standing in Your love
On the mountains, I will bow my life
To the one who set me there
In the valley, I will lift my eyes
to the one who sees me there
When I'm standing on the mountain aft,
didn't get there on my own
When I'm walking through the valley end,
no I am not alone!
You're God of the hills and valleys!
Hills and Valleys!
God of the hills and valleys
And I am not alone!
I've watched my dreams get broken
In you I hope again!
No matter what I know
I'm safe inside Your hand
On the mountains, I will bow my life
To the one who set me there
In the valley, I will lift my eyes
to the one who sees me there
When I'm standing on the mountain,
didn't get there on my own
When I'm walking through the valley end,
no I am not alone!
You're God of the hills and valleys!
Hills and Valleys!
God of the hills and valleys
And I am not alone!
Father, you give and take away
Every joy and every pain
Through it all you will remain
Over it all!
On the mountains, I will bow my life, yeah
In the valley, I will lift my eyes, yeah!
On the mountains, I will bow my life
To the one who set me there
(to the one who set me there)
In the valley, I will lift my eyes
to the one who sees me there
When I'm standing on the mountain,
didn't get there on my own
When I'm walking through the valley,
no I am not alone!
You're God of the hills and valleys!
Hills and Valleys!
God of the hills and valleys
And I am not alone!
You're God of the hills and valleys!
Hills and Valleys!
God of the hills and valleys
And I am not alone!
And I will choose to say
"Blessed be Your name, yeah, yeah"
And I am not alone
