My Journey to God

Staying Faithful

When grace abounds
And God’s presence surrounds me,
I want to stay in this moment,
Like St. Peter on the Mount.
I don’t want to come down,
For it is good, Lord, to be here!

These moments are rare,
But they mean so much,
When trials and tribulations
Seem to never end.
It’s the good memories
That pick me up, when times are bad.

Stay with me, Lord,
No matter what comes my way.
Help me to trust in Your goodness,
Not in the wiles of man.
Give me these mountaintop moments,
To remember when times are bad.
