© by Nick Peros (b. 1963)

Hills & valleys pass me by
Language: English 
Hills & valleys pass me by as I run with all my heart
Past the brook and then I leap to where Your arms are waiting
Pick me up and spin me laughing in Your arms of gladness
In this field of living sunshine where my heart is singing with You
In joy of timeless wonder, everlasting...
What peace it is to feel Your loving arms.

Come and run with me as I run across the meadow
Through the grass and then I jump up on Your loving shoulders
Lift me up and raise me high above the highest mountain
In this place of shining daylight where my heart rejoices with You
In love of brightest splendour, everlasting...
What peace it is to fell Your loving arms.
