CALL TO RETURN TO OUR SOULS
Pastor:             Let’s go up the mountain.
People:           Let’s go up to the place where the land meets the sky,
Pastor:             Where the earth touches the heavens!
People:           To the place of meeting!
Pastor:             To the place of mists!
People:           To the place of voices,
Pastor:             That speak from deeply within,
People:           And from far beyond!
Pastor:             Let’s go up the mountain!
People:           Let’s go up to the place of vision,
Pastor:             Where we can really see
People:           The glory of Jesus Christ!
