Porter Wagoner – I Thought Of God lyrics

I walked to the whispering forest
not a man made sound could I hear
A timid fawn was playing there
without a sign of fear
I walked alone up to mountain
and looked out over the sea
I saw an eagle spread his wings
in flight so gracefully

I knew that I was walking
where mortal should not trod
There on the lonely mountain
I stopped and thought of God

I walked through a busy city
it was built by men and steel
A young one cries
and old one dies
where love and hate are real

I knew that I was walking
where many men had trod
There in the busy city
I stopped and thought of God
