Learning To Climb

When we want to reach the top of a mount,
Of skills we will need we must take account.
If we will gain that ultimate goal,
In lessons on climbing we must enroll.

We learn to walk one step at a time,
And it is the same when we learn to climb.
How do we know our footing is sure
If in the Lord we are not mature?

Scaling a mount brings us to high places.
Lest we might fall, we must know God's graces.
Deep in His wisdom will we find our skill
And ultimately know the mountain top's thrill.

"It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect. He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places."
Psalm 18:32-33 KJV
