Climb

(photo: Garden of the Gods, COS)

Who can climb Mount God? Who can scale the holy north-face? Only the clean-handed, only the pure-hearted; men who won't cheat, women who won't seduce.

I will climb up to my watchtower and stand at my guard post. There I will wait to see what the Lord says and how he will answer

Is there anyplace I can go to avoid your Spirit? to be out of your sight? If I climb to the sky, you're there! If I go underground, you're there! If I flew on morning's wings to the far western horizon, You'd find me in a minute— you're already there waiting!

You're my cave to hide in, my cliff to climb. Be my safe leader, be my true mountain guide. Free me from hidden traps; I want to hide in you. I've put my life in your hands. You won't drop me, you'll never let me down.

Circle Zion, take her measure, count her fortress peaks, Gaze long at her sloping bulwark, climb her citadel heights— Then you can tell the next generation detail by detail the story of God, Our God forever, who guides us till the end of time.

Climb a high mountain, Zion. You're the preacher of good news. Raise your voice. Make it good and loud, Jerusalem. You're the preacher of good news. Speak loud and clear. Don't be timid! Tell the cities of Judah, "Look! your God!" Look at him! God, the Master, comes in power, ready to go into action. He is going to pay back his enemies and reward those who have loved him. Like a shepherd, he will care for his flock, gathering the lambs in his arms, hugging them as he carries them, leading the nursing ewes to good pasture.

Psalm 24:3 Habakkuk 2:1 Psalm 139:7 Psalm 31:3 Psalm 48:12 Isaiah 40:9

Our greatest weakness may be our failure to rely on God’s strength.
