"The Shepherd's Point of View"
You are standing on the mountain holding to the Shepherd's hand,
the valley you just came through, was hard to understand.
Then the Shepherd draws you closer, there's something He wants you to see,
and He points back to the valley and unfolds its mysteries.
As the eagles soar around you and you look back on where you've been
one by one He answers questions, that He did not answer then.
He now shows you the danger, of going your own way,
all the roads you thought were better, would have led your soul astray.
He reminds you of that moment, when you could not make it through,
now you see one set of footprints, where He reached down and carried you.
As your tears fall on His shoulder, and you thank Him for His love,
He says "Child, I knew that one day, you'd see the valley from above."
Things look different on the mountain, from the Shepherd's point of view.
Standing high above the trial, that He brought you safely through.
All the valley's disappointments, will never look the same to you,
for things look different on the mountain, from the Shepherd's point of view.
As soon as I heard the first verse I began to cry. Seeing the valley from above is sometimes overwhelming. I let my tears fall on His shoulder and I began to thank Him for His love. His presence filled my heart and I realized again that I could never thank Him enough for Samuel and all that He has done. I have watched God heal my broken heart in so many ways. As I have held my precious baby boy all the disappointments in the past do not look the same. "Things look different on the mountain, from the Shepherd's point of view."
