song of comfort and encouragement
Story behind the song
Inspired by the death of a friend and all his family had to go through
Lyrics
We can’t stand on the mountain all the time
If we could we wouldn’t understand the struggles in this life
Separated from our fellow man...who toils with pain and strife
We can’t stand on the mountain all the time
We can’t stand in the valley all the time
If we let the shadows take command....our eyes will soon grow blind
To the Sonlight of God’s goodness...and the joy we have in Christ
We can’t stand in the valley all the time
There will be heights to know...joy unspeakable
There will be valleys low...tears that we must cry
But everywhere we go...God’s grace will lead His people
Whether in the valley or on the mountain high
Where we can stand in the Savior all the time
So take His hand never waiver through the day or through the night
Then we’ll come to understand in every circumstance of life
We can stand in the Savior all the time
He will meet us in the valley and on the mountain side
We can stand in the Savior all the time
