Mountain Tops

Mountain Tops

Uploaded: July 31, 2009

Description

The mountain tops are not as tall
The valleys seem to be getting small
Still the river runs deep inside me
Take the dreams that didn’t grow
And visions that melted in the snow
Take away my lamp still I will find the pathway home
With my hand in your hand
My life in your life
My Spirit will rise until I see the rainbow.
~Lyrics by 2nd Chapter of Acts
I took this photo of the Tetons on my way to Yellowstone.
