HELP YOURSELF to this song I wrote as a finale for Christian retreats and conferences. You should be able to click on the music here: http://www.box.net/shared/sjdblo1e8y. It has piano and synthesized voice but not the lyrics, so I am printing the lyrics out for you below:
THE COMIN' OFF THE MOUNTAINTOP BLUES
I had a mountaintop experience the other day.
It was easy to worship and easy to pray.
God's will was crystal clear, I had life all arranged--
But then I came down from the mountaintop
and nothing had changed.
Same old problems! Same routine!
What did all those fine-sounding commitments mean?
I've got those comin'-off-the-mountaintop blues,
I've got those comin'-off-the-mountaintop blues.
Upon the mountain Jesus gave me a sweet song to sing.
I knew with Him I could be victor over anything.
His word came so alive as I sat at His feet--
But then I came down from the mountaintop
to instant defeat.
Same temptation! Same old sin!
Same old conviction that I just can't win.
I've got those comin'-off-the-mountaintop blues,
I've got those comin'-off-the-mountaintop blues.
Chorus:
Satan, get lost! In Jesus' name!
I refuse to play your old depression game.
My mind is a kingdom and Jehovah is king--
Bug off, Satan, 'cause you're trespassing!
I had a mountaintop experience the other day.
It was easy to worship and easy to pray.
God's will was crystal clear, I had life all arranged--
And when I came down from the mountaintop--
praise God--nothing had changed!
Same great God and same great love!
Same abundant mercy that He offered above.
I've beat those comin'-off-the-mountaintop blues,
I've beat those comin'-off-the-mountaintop blues!
