The View From Here

I have a young friend who turned me on to all the EFY cd's!  Many years ago she copied a ton of them for me and I have loved them ever since. This is one of my favorites from EFY 2003 "Look and Live" and I believe it is the song that inspired my dream about climbing that mountain.  Thanks Christin!  I love you!

The View From Here

From where I'm standing I can see for miles
I see the world more clearly than before
I can see the path I chose that brought me to
  this place
A way I once questioned but not anymore

Up here peace flows like a river
And the light is so much brighter coming down from
   the sun
Up here I am standing on a mountain, on a rock
   that cant be moved
I feel no fear
It's beautiful
The view from here

I know you can see the peak and wonder if it's
   worth the climb
Sometimes it hurts and can bring you to your knees

On your knees is where you find strength beyond
   your own
To keep on moving until you see

Up here peace flows like a river
And the light is so much brighter coming down from
   the sun
Up here you'll be standing on a mountain, on a rock
   that can't be moved
Please don't fear
I want you to see
The view from here

Jesus went before us and he has marked the way
And he is standing at the top with outstretched
   arms
Can you hear him say

Up here my peace flows like a river
And my light is so much brighter for I am the sun
If you keep climbing, keep building on my rock
You won't be moved
No need to fear
I want you to see
The view from here

Won't you come and see
The veiw from here

  2. Hello,
    hope you will not mind if I comment this song saying: IT IS A FANTASTIC SONG!!!
    I love the lyric and the music is outstanding!
    It inspired me on my mission bringing everyday into my heart the desire to share the gospel but most important to share my testimony of the mission and gospel of Jesus Christ.
    "...it`s beautiful the view from here!"
    Best Wishes
