Slope-Side Hallelujah

Snow like pages

Blank and shining

Boots all laced

He’s right on time and

He’s gliding down that sunrise slope

Carving grace in every line

Tracks that trace a brand-new hope

Cutting through this heart of mine

Fog lifts off the frozen pines

Warmth runs through this winter air

Every turn feels like a sign

Every breath becomes a prayer

Jesus on skis

Blessing the mountain

Rivers of mercy

Joy like a fountain (yeah)

Hands in the air while the cold wind sings

Hallelujah on the chairlift

Heaven in the lift line

Swing

Jesus on skis

Blessing the mountain

Goggles fogged from happy tears

I can’t see but I still know

All my falls

All my lost years

Buried deep in that white snow

[low vocal register] Then the choir on the ridge starts rising

Calling out my name by name

Every echo harmonizing

“Child

You’re free

You’re not the same”

[whispered vocals] Left

Right

Glide

Slide

Every scar

Along for the ride

[crescendo] He leans in close on the steepest run

Says

“I’ve been with you since day one”

Cross on his back like a lift pass shine

“Every mountain you face

We ride it in time” (oh yeah)
