The Mountain

I want to build a house up on this mountain

Way up high where the peaceful waters flow

To quench my thirsty soul up on the mountain

I can see for miles up on this mountain

Troubles seem so small they almost disappear

Lord I love it here up on the mountain

My faith is strengthened by all that I see

You make it easy for me to believe up on the mountain

Oh, up on the mountain

I would love to live up on this mountain

And keep the pain of living life so far away

But I know I can't stay, ohh.. up on the mountain

I said I'd go Lord wherever you lead

For where you are is where I most want to be

And I can tell we're headed for the valley (yes we are)

My faith is strengthened by all that I've seen

So Lord help me remember what you've shown me

Up on the mountain

Yea..

You bring me up here on the mountain

For me to rest and learn and grow

I see the truth up on the mountain

And I carry it to the world far below

So as I go down to the valley

Knowing that you will go with me

This is my prayer Lord help me to remember what you showed me

Up on the mountain

Up on the mountain

I cherish these times up on the mountain

But I can leave this place because I know

Someday you'll take me home to live forever

Up on the mountain
