Songs of Ascents (blog #3)

Songs For The Journey

“I will lift up my eyes to the hills from where comes my help”

Psalm 121:1

A very long time ago a multitude of people journeyed over mountains and hills
praying for strength and faith – continuing on
To their beloved Jerusalem temple
– Pausing on each stair with a song of praise –

Many historians believe that the 15 ‘Songs of Ascents’ were sung on the 15 stairs that exist in the ruins of Jerusalem today.

And as we press on in our earthly journey

We will praise Him on the mountain
We will praise Him on the hills
And we will praise Him when the mountain is in
our way
When our way seems difficult – and our days
bring heartaches hard to bear
And shadows fill our nights
We will praise Him
For in our journey – He guide us every
step of the way
