Even Higher Ground

I could almost weep
If I could only take your hand
We’re so close to sleep
And so far from deliverance
Once in every lifetime
Love comes down
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Even higher ground
Would not make you fall
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Would not make you fall
Oh you came tumbling in
Like a river to the valley
Which will not be rolling green again
It’s washed everything away
Well it stretches out so beautifully
Shows the heavens up above
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Even higher ground
Would not make you fall
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
I couldn’t love you better
If I’d loved you all my life
You threw out all the questions
With one big breath — welcome to the world
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Even higher ground
Would not make you fall
Even higher ground
Would not make you stumble
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
Would not make you fall
