I wish I'd been up on that mountain
Heard you speaking on that day
When you told us who were blessed
And you taught us how to pray
When you told us to be a light for the world
And lay up our treasure on high
So that, if we choose the narrow gate
We can claim it when we die
..But I wasn't on that mountain
And it isn't quite the same
So, when I look at my priorities
I have to ask you once again
Don't let me worry 'bout tomorrow
And the road that lies ahead
Don't let me be so introspective
Take the wider view instead
For, if you care about the sparrows
And the grass out in the field
It puts my life into perspective
When your love for me's revealed
Yes, it brings me back to Earth when I consider the lilies
If I'd been there to hear you tell me
To take the plank out of my eye
Your gentle voice would reassure me
That you would answer when I cry
Then you told us to be like the salt of the Earth
And to love our enemy
And you urged us to search for the Kingdom of God
And ts righteousness to see
..But I wasn't on that mountain
And it isn't quite the same
So, when I look at my priorities
I have to ask you once again
Don't let me worry 'bout tomorrow
And the road that lies ahead
Don't let me be so introspective
Take the wider view instead
For, if you care about the sparrows
And the grass out in the field
It puts my life into perspective
When your love for me's revealed
Yes, it brings me back to Earth when I consider the lilies.
