WE PRAYED UPON THAT HILL
 
High on a hill and far away  
I met Jesus and we prayed all day  
We talked about His life here back then 
I knew He was just to begin  
He told me how to take on the giants 
With His strength and His armor  
And how to live the best I could 
And not do bad things but only good 

 There was an awesome flow of His Holy Spirit 
It was like He was right there beside me  
I was elated and filled with glee 
It was so peaceful and only nature around 
So we walked barefoot on the ground 
 
We made a covenant from His advice 
To sin once maybe, but not twice
 And when I needed a lift ask  Him for a gift 
That will help me release all the doubt...guilt and fears  
He told me to just humble myself and along with the tears 
Let Him into my heart and being completely and whole  
And let Him make His home there in my soul  
 
We prayed together for  many hours  
Then the rains came on and heavy showers  
The waters below were running over  
The grass was covered with snow white clover 
The trees shook hands, and they blew and waved 
I knew right then,  my soul was saved 
His love was so sweet and more I craved  
He said there would be rewards if I just behaved 
 
We prayed for peace and the earth stood still 
All around us....there upon that hill

Words are coming from above,  
As He tells me all about brotherly love  
There are so many things that I should do 
And one of them is to share with you
