[Verse 1]
G Em D
O how high would I climb mountains
C
If the mountains were where You hide
G Em D
O how far I'd scale the valleys
C
If You graced the other side
G Em D
O how long have I chased rivers
C
From lowly seas to where they rise
G Em D
Against the rush of grace descending
C
From the source of its supply
[Pre-Chorus]
G C D Em
In the highlands and the heartache
G
Youâre neither more or less inclined
D C D Em
I would search and stop at nothing
C
You're just not that hard to find
[Chorus]
G
I will praise You on the mountain
D Em
And I will praise You when the mountain's in my way
D
Youâre the summit where my feet are
C G
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
No less God within the shadows
D Em
No less faithful when the night leads me astray
D
You're the heaven where my heart is
C Em
In the highlands and the heartache all the same
[Verse 2]
D C G Em D
O how far beneath Your glory
C
Does Your kindness extend the path
G Em D
From where Your feet rest on the sunrise
C
To where You sweep the sinner's past
G Em D
O how fast would You come running
C
If just to shadow me through the night
G Em D
Trace my steps through all my failure
C
And walk me out the other side
[Pre-Chorus]
G C D Em
For who could dare ascend that mountain
G
That valleyed hill called Calvary
D C D Em
But for the One I call Good Shepherd
C
Who like a lamb was slain for me
[Chorus]
G
I will praise You on the mountain
D Em
And I will praise You when the mountain's in my way
D
You're the summit where my feet are
C G
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
No less God within the shadows
D Em
No less faithful when the night leads me astray
D
You're the heaven where my heart is
C Em
In the highlands and the heartache all the same
[Break]
D C G Em
Whatever I walk through
[Bridge]
Wherever I am
D C
Your Name can move mountains
Wherever I stand
G Em
And if ever I walk through
The valley of death
D C
I'll sing through the shadows
My song of ascent
G Em
Whatever I walk through
Wherever I am
D C
Your Name can move mountains
Wherever I stand
G Em
And if ever I walk through
The valley of death
D C
I'll sing through the shadows
My song of ascent
G Em
My song of ascent
[Break]
D C G Em
D C
[Pre-Chorus]
G C D Em
From the gravest of all valleys
G
Come the pastures we call grace
D C D Em
A mighty river flowing upwards
C
From a deep but empty grave
[Outro]
G
So I will praise You on the mountain
D Em
And I will praise You when the mountainâs in my way
D
Youâre the summit where my feet are
C G
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
No less God within the shadows
D Em
No less faithful when the night leads me astray
D
You're the heaven where my heart is
C G
In the highlands and the heartache all the same
Oh, how high would I climb mountains
If the mountains were where You hide
Oh, how far I'd scale the valleys
If You graced the other side
And, oh, how long have I chased rivers
From lowly seas to where they rise
Against the rush of grace descending
From the source of its supply
'Cause in the highlands and the heartache
You're neither more or less inclined
I would search and stop at nothing
You're just not that hard to find
I will praise on the mountain
And I will praise you when the mountain is in my way
You're the summit where my feet are
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
No less God within the shadows
No less faithful when the night leads me astray
'Cause You're the heaven where my heart is
In the highlands and the heartache all the same
Oh
Oh, how far beneath Your glory
Does Your kindness extend apart
From where Your feet rest on the sunrise
To where You sweep the sinner's past
And oh, how fast would You come running?
If just to shadow me through the night
Trace my steps through all my failure
And walk me out the other side
For who could dare ascend that mountain
That valleyed hill called Calvary
But for the one I call Good Shepherd
Who like a lamb was slain for me
Oh, I will praise You on the mountain (you sing)
I will praise You when the mountains in my way
You're the summit where my feet are
So I will praise you in the valley all the same
No less God within the shadows
And no less faithful when the night leads me astray
'Cause You're the heaven where my heart is
In the highlands and the heartache all the same
Oh, oh, oh (sing it out)
Whatever I walk through
Wherever I am
Your name can move mountains
Wherever I stand
And if ever I walk through
The valley of death
I'll sing through the shadows
My song of ascent
Whatever I walk through
Wherever I am
Your Name can move mountains
Wherever I stand
And if ever I walk through
The valley of death
I'll sing through the shadows
My song of ascent
My song of ascent
Oh, oh, oh (and sing it out)
My song of ascent
Oh, oh, oh
From the gravest of all valley
Come the pasture we call grace
A mighty river flowing upward
From a deep but empty grave
So I will praise You on the mountain
I will praise You when the mountains in my way
You're the summit where my feet are (yes You are)
I will praise you in the valley all the same
No less God within the shadows
No less faithful when the night leads me astray
You're the heaven where my heart is
In the highlands and the heartache all the same
