Up the mountain of fury, 'cross the river of fear
Down the valley of the shadow, I?ll be running like a deer
When I come to the end of life?s great story
I will walk barefoot through the fields of glory
verse 2
I was born a simple girl and a simple life I lead
And there?s not too many folks around who could say that?s all they need
Don?t mean to brag about the peaceful, simple life I choose
But the roads don?t seem so rough, when I'm wearing high-heeled shoes
Up the mountain of fury, 'cross the river of fear
Down the valley of the shadow, I?ll be running like a deer
When I come to the end of life?s great story
I will walk barefoot through the fields of glory
verse 3
Now they say that River Jordan is too wide a swim to dare
But they used to say our sins were just too big a cross to bear
And you know you?re bound to wander down a dusty winding road
So the more you give, the less you have, the lighter your load
Up the mountain of fury, 'cross the river of fear
Down the valley of the shadow, I?ll be running like a deer
When I come to the end of life?s great story
I will walk barefoot through the fields of glory
From the mountain of fury, 'cross the river of fear
Down the valley of the shadow, I?ll be running like a deer
When I come to the end of life?s great story
