Journey to Jerusalem: With Hearts held high


Journey to Jerusalem: With Hearts held high


Today I went hiking
with a group on a men's retreat.

I was reminded of the below song. It is a reminder of our Mountain Top experiences of God. As we leave the mountain top, we leave encouraged, strengthened, renewed.

On our Journey to Jerusalem,
let us go with hearts held high.
We follow Jesus who goes before us.
We walk with the believers of every time and place right beside us.
And even our broken cups, God fills to overflowing.

"Walk Down This Mountain" by Bebo Norman

It's a better place
Standing high upon this mountain
I've seen your face
‎Full of the light that holiest height can show
‎Blessed hand is why you you've given
‎But you've been given all you'll ever need
‎To know

‎Chorus:
‎So walk down this mountain
‎ With your heart held high
‎ Follow in the footsteps of your maker
‎ With this love that's gone before you
‎And these people at your side
‎If you offer up your broken cup
‎You will taste the meaning of this life

‎Well it's a common ground
‎And I see you're all still standing
‎ But just look around and you'll find
‎The very face of God
‎ He's walking down into the distance
‎He's walking down to where the masses are  (Chorus)

‎We're standing in a place of peace
‎ And this is how the world should be
‎ How the world should be
‎(Walk down this mountain with your heart held high)
‎How the world should be
‎(Walk down this mountain with you heart held high)
‎How the world should be
‎(Walk down this mountain with your heart held high)
‎How the world should be . (Chorus)
