Can I climb just one more mountain?

Will I make it there this time?

Sometimes it seems impossible

I confess it seems so high.

I feel the tears ..... the pain in my heart

As I look to the very top 

Why must this be so difficult 

Why won't the tear drops stop?

Will I have the strength this time

To try to make it there?

Or will I weaken once again,

I pray I do not dare.

God didn't say life was easy

He just told me to believe

So I will hold onto my faith

And try hard not to grieve.

Looking back, He's given me

So much to be thankful for

I know this time I must be strong

And climb a little more.

Will this be the last one

That I know I now must climb?

If I can make it to the top

My fears I'll leave behind.
