Mountaintop

Well, I don’t know what will happen now. We’ve got some difficult days ahead. But it doesn’t matter with me now. Because I’ve been to the mountaintop. And I don’t mind. Like anybody, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its place. But I’m not concerned about that now. I just want to do God’s will. And He’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over. And I’ve seen the promised land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight, that we, as a people, will get to the promised land. And I’m happy, tonight. I’m not worried about anything. I’m not fearing any man.

Axé.

  1. That’s a beautifully inspiring piece. And yet when he says ” I’m not fearing any man” … I actually fear because….. he died.

    I feel the fear of not wanting to look at things from the mountaintop. Actually, what I want is simply to live and to live today and tomorrow and until the end of times. And with me and like me an almost infinite number of others.

  2. Yes, I think that is of course what even people like King really want, if it can be gotten!
