Standing High On A Mountain

Standing High On A Mountain

song written by Elsie Fleetwood, 1972 / Larry Fleetwood

(Verse 1)

Matters not when He calls us

If we’ll just obey and come

He will bless our soul supremely

When our life is here and done

We will go to be with Jesus

In that home He has prepared

When He breaks the clouds of glory

I hope that I am standing there

(Verse 2)

When we tell them of His mercy

And of His love so true

When we tell them of His healing power

They’ll just stand and stare at you

But we’ve got to walk this lonely road

Till Jesus comes and says, “Well done”

Then a crown shall be given us

And every trial shall have been won

(Pre-Chorus)

So don’t grow weary in the waiting

Keep your eyes on skies above

Every step and every sorrow

Is held inside His perfect love

(Repeat Chorus)

Standing high on a mountain, overlooking life's sea

I see many, many people roaming about, free as can be

While they're going down life’s weary road

Caring not where it may end

Caring not for their Savior

Knowing not that He cares for them

(Bridge)

There’s a trumpet soon to sound

A King who’s coming down

And those who kept the narrow way

Will rise to wear a crown

So let me labor while it’s day

And shine the light that guides their way

Until He calls me home to stay

Oh Lord, I long to say...

(Ending / Tag)

I’m still standing on that mountain

Watching souls and lifting prayer

When He breaks the clouds of glory

Oh, I pray I’m standing there

Yes, when He breaks the clouds of glory—

Lord, I’ll be standing there
