On top of this mountain 30 miles from Fresno
Is a place called Jewels Vista, 40 acres to know
But it’s more than a name where your finger taps the mark
It’s a journey to explore what’s down deep in your heart
Be true and admit life has taken its toll
J.V. calls out to refresh your old soul
Are you dragging a burden that’s too heavy for thee?
There’s answers to problems, just come here and see
These foothills will cradle you, but they can’t fix your mess
One thing we believe is if you come you’ll be blessed
Pack peanuts and raisins put ice in your chest
Bring some bottled water, then invite a good guest
When you arrive to this hilltop feel how fine you will feel
The winds from the west will do dancing cartwheels
No one can say the kind of critters you’ll see
Listen a bit close and you might hear, “God created me!”
Place your hand on your mouth and whisper, “This place is unreal!”
Answers will come, just wait for the reveal
Here the sky is quite big, and nothing’s hidden from view
The silence can be loud but it’s your chance to review
Just try to define all the beauty you’ll find
Wait until midnight the stars will blow your mind
Find that you’re asking some people, “What gives?”
We offer this land as a place to forgive
Feel guilty or shame by a poor choice forbidden?
For you forgiveness comes, unless the sin remain hidden
Come here to confess all the things on your heart
God sends you His offer, “I’ll give you a new start!”
Read Luke chapter 15 about the prodigal son
Forget all that’s happened it’s over it’s done
To celebrate your decision two sisters will sing
They are Goodness and Mercy they flow from a good King
So turn off net streaming, forget the booster and vaccine
Take a walk on God’s mountain some gorgeous autumn evening.
