Representative Text

1 I stood in the valley with Jesus,
In the midst of the suffering throng;
I saw as He healed their diseases,
Turned their sighs into beautiful song.

Chorus:
'Tis so sweet to be with my Savior,
Anywhere, anywhere!
In the heights, or down in the valley,
If He's there, only there.

2 I stood on the mountain with Jesus,
And the kingdom of glory was there;
I saw with an unclouded vision
What some day all the saved ones shall share. [Chorus]

3 I stood at the judgment with Jesus,
At the cross where His life-blood was shed;
I knew there was no condemnation
Waiting me, for He died in my stead. [Chorus]

4 I'll stand with the saints in His presence,
When He comes for His ransomed, His own,
Forgiven and saved, and forever
To sit down with my Lord on His throne. [Chorus]
