Climbing the mountain and reaching the summit, giving it all you've got.
I exerted every ounce of energy, collapsing on the spot.

Was it worth it? Was it not?
Oh, the vast beauty I've seen in this holy spot. 

Few expend the energy to get where I got. 
It is well worth the effort to reach the very top. 

Sights I've never seen before that take my breath away,
It gives me much more confidence in every which way 

Some stay down low; some scale the heights. 
Whatever your destiny, keep God in your sights.
