[Verse 1]
Em D
O how high would I climb mountains
C G
If the mountains were where You hide
Em D
O how far I'd scale the valleys
C G
If You graced the other side
[Verse 2]
Em D
O how long have I chased rivers
C G
From lowly seas to where they rise
Em D
Against the rush of grace descending
C G
From the source of its supply
[Pre-Chorus 1]
C D Em
'Cause in the highlands and the heartache
G D
You're neither more or less inclined
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 C
You're the summit where my feet are
G
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
D
No less God within the shadows
Em
No less faithful when the night leads me astray
D
You're the heaven where my heart is
C Em D C G
In the highlands and the heartache all the same
[Verse 3]
Em D
O how far beneath Your glory
C G
Does Your kindness extend the path
Em D
From where Your feet rest on the sunrise
C G
To where You sweep the sinner's past
[Verse 4]
Em D
O how fast would You come running
C G
If just to shadow me through the night
Em D
Trace my steps through all my failure
C G
And walk me out the other side
[Pre-Chorus 2]
C D Em
For who could dare ascend that mountain
G D
That valleyed hill called Calvary
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 C
You're the summit where my feet are
G
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
D
No less God within the shadows
Em
No less faithful when the night leads me astray
D
You're the heaven where my heart is
C Em D C G
In the highlands and the heartache all the same
[Bridge]
Em D
Whatever I walk through, wherever I am
C G
Your name can move mountains wherever I stand
Em D
And if ever I walk through the valley of death
C G
I'll sing through the shadows my song of ascent
Em D
Whatever I walk through, wherever I am
C G
Your name can move mountains wherever I stand
Em D
And if ever I walk through the valley of death
C G Em D C G
I'll sing through the shadows my song of ascent, my song of ascent
Em D C G
My song of ascent
[Pre-Chorus 3]
C D Em
From the gravest of all valleys
G D
Come the pastures we call grace
C D Em
A mighty river flowing upwards
C
From a deep but empty grave
[Chorus]
G
I will praise You on the mountain
D Em
And I will praise You when the mountain's in my way
D C
You're the summit where my feet are
G
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
D
No less God within the shadows
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
