Jesus is a Sherpa
 
 
If  I climb a mountain high;
Who is altered, it or I?

Above the clouds of doubt and shame;
The heady air is cleansing thin.
Beyond the bonds of greed and fame;
Escaping from the vale of sin.

If I climb a mountain high;
Who is greater, it or I?

My goal is up, my thought below;
Lungs afire and limbs a-shaking.
Fleeing the burdens that I tow;
I spent my life in their making.

If I climb a mountain high;
Who is victor, it or I?

The Way’s too steep for one alone.
On scarred shoulders my partner bears,
The crippling weight I can’t atone.
Going on with a friend that cares.
