Standing at the Top of the Hill Quotes

“If a person is in the habit of talking bad about others while around you, that person is more than likely talking bad about you while around others.

Likewise, if a person is in the habit of talking good about others while around you, that person is more than likely talking good about you while around others.

In either case, love and do good to all people.”

in this great race with the assurance
that you'll eventually get your prize.
Move through the trials with wisdom,
and grow spiritually stronger through them,
see beyond your natural eyes.
See beyond the temporal storms
that appear in various forms,
and look ahead to the clear blue sky.
Christ will give you all that you need
to go forward and to succeed,
the final hour is drawing nigh.
Very soon we will be leaving
with all of those who are believing,
we'll be taking our heavenly flight.
So take the Gospel to the people,
passed the comfort-zone of the steeple,
and try to get them to see the Light.”

and I won't be distracted or go astray.
I'll keep God's word stored in my heart,

I'll walk by faith, and won't go under.
And though the winds may violently blow,
I will stand firm by the truth I know.
I will go forward, and I will prevail
triumphant over the powers of hell.”

“The sun is shining brighter
just beyond your situation.
But you are in the shadow
of your prolonged hesitation.
And now it's starting to rain.
A thunder overhead.
You're caught in a storm,
and growing more in dread.
It's time to move the mountain,
to cast it far away.
So speak to it in faith,
and then it will obey.
Don't let it remain.
It's hindered you enough.
You've got to be strong.
You've got to be tough.”

“I've been in this class for a while now.
I'm doing the best that I can.
It takes dedication, hard work and study
to be a Godly man.
I've taken a lot of tests.
I've gone through many trials.
I've experienced hardships
down many exciting miles.
The narrow road gets tough at times.
The battles get harder to win.
But the Lord is right here with me,
and to that I say, "Amen."
I'm still going forward,
a steady progression.
Class has not been dismissed.
It's still in session.
Soon the bell will ring,
and then I can leave.
I'll graduate to Heaven
with all who believe.”

“Mistakes will happen. Their songs will sing.
The remorse will come that they bring.
Their painful lessons will be taught.
The tough aftereffects will be fought.
But in time their result will make us stronger,
and their avoidance will be longer.
And then one day they will be no more
when perfection is at the door.
When the time has come to finally leave
to home in Heaven, and there receive
the crown of life, our great reward.
Praise Jesus Christ, our King and Lord.”

Don't let it lead you astray.

Dark with no part.
In Christ you are complete.”

“With just one look you may not see
the good that's there inside of me.
But look a little deeper, look deep within.
For the heart is where you'll find the good in men.
Firm handshakes are okay, and smiles that shine,
but these things do not the good man define.
You must look deeper, look deep within.
For the heart is where you'll find the good in men.”

“Lord, You've taught me a lot.
You're still teaching,
and I'm still happily learning.
Thankful for all I've got,
for all I'm getting,
and yet I find myself still yearning.

Jesus, help me to pass
each and every test.
I don't want, not one time, to fail.
I've studied hard for this class.
Your class is the best,
and I so want to do well.

Not with a "C"
or even a "B."
I would be okay with an "A."
But with great study,
through great adversity,
I want that "100" someday.”
― Calvin W. Allison, Standing at the Top of the Hill

“Good moral standards are often taught,
but rarely are they wholly sought.
For on the narrow road of righteous living
are sacrifice, integrity, love and giving.
There are not many who truly are
willing to take that road very far.
But the ones who do will have success.
They the Lord God will richly bless.
They'll reach with hands that comfort and heal,
and in God's presence reverently kneel.
They'll faithfully walk in truth's pure light,
and see through eyes of inward sight.
The realm of the Spirit is an unseen place,
and yet it is truly reality's base.
The home of the righteous, forever remaining
in the Hand of the Lord, forever sustaining.”

“Take His Hand and then you will see
what it means to really be free.
To travel a road without grief or strife,
to live in the realm of spiritual life.
Take His Hand and then you will be
able to walk on a stormy sea.
You won't go under anymore.
You won't get broken, you won't get tore.
Take His Hand and then you will feel
a kind of love that can mend and heal.
A love strong enough to illuminate light,
to enlighten minds and transform sight.
Take His Hand and then you will find
true fulfillment and peace of mind.
A road that's void of grief and strife.
Let Jesus lead you into new life.”
― Calvin W. Allison, Standing at the Top of the Hill

“You can't taste a sound or hear a stare,
and a wayward heart can't dodge despair.
You can't go to tomorrow without leaving today,
and darkness can't shine or light up the way.
You can't color feelings or paint intelligence,
and doubt can't produce a bit of confidence.
You can't freeze fire or light ice,
and you can't go wrong with good advice.”
