One day Jesus took Peter, James and John up on a mountain and was transformed before them. The veil of his humanity was pushed aside so that they could see Him as He really is: clothed with a glory so great they could not look at Him. The light was blinding. Moses and Elijah appeared with Him and they conversed with each other while the three disciples of Jesus were awe-struck and amazed at the sight. Peter spoke of it many years later in the New Testament letter that bears his name.
As the light faded and Moses and Elijah went their way, the disciples were dumbfounded, and Peter spoke: “Lord, it is good to be here. Let’s build some tents and just stay longer. But Jesus replied (paraphrased) “We can’t stay on the mountain; the folks down there in the valley need us.”
This song is about the mountains and valleys of life. Lynda Randle touches our hearts as she sings about God who is always with us.
