The Mountain
A Journey of Faith: Finding Peace and Strength on the Mountain
Lyrics
I want to build a house up on this mountain
I desire to establish a dwelling in this elevated place.
Way up high where the peaceful waters flow
In a high location where tranquility and calm waters exist,
To quench my thirsty soul
To satisfy and fulfill my spiritually longing self.
Up on the mountain
In this elevated area.
My faith is strengthened by all that I see
My belief is reinforced by the beauty around me.
You make it easy for me to believe up on the mountain
You make it effortless for me to have faith in this elevated place.
Oh, up on the mountain
Oh, in this elevated place.
I would love to live up on this mountain
I would find joy residing in this elevated location.
And keep the pain of living life so far away
To avoid the struggles of life experienced elsewhere,
But I know I can't stay
But acknowledging I cannot remain permanently.
Up on the mountain
In this elevated area.
My faith is strengthened by all that I see
My faith is reinforced by the surroundings.
You make it easy for me to believe up on the mountain
You make it effortless for me to have faith in this elevated place.
Oh, up on the mountain
Oh, in this elevated place.
I said I'd go, Lord, wherever You lead
I committed to following Your guidance.
For where You are is where I most want to be
Being where You are is my greatest desire.
And I can tell we're headed for the valley
It seems we're headed towards a challenging time.
My faith is strengthened by all that I've seen
My faith is bolstered by my experiences.
So Lord help me remember what You've shown me
Requesting assistance to recall the lessons learned in this elevated place.
Up on the mountain
In this elevated area.
You bring me up here on this mountain
You've brought me up here for rejuvenation and growth.
For me to rest and learn and grow
To learn and rest in this elevated place.
I see the truth up on the mountain
I perceive truth in this elevated place.
And I carry it to the world far below
And I intend to share it with the world below.
So as I go down to the valley
As I descend to the struggles of life,
Knowing that You will go with me
Knowing You'll accompany me.
This is my prayer, Lord
This is my request, Lord,
Help me to remember what You've shown me
To help me retain the lessons learned in this elevated place.
Up on the mountain
In this elevated area.
Up on the mountain
-I cherish these times up on the mountain
I deeply value these moments in this elevated place.
But I can leave this place because I know
But I can depart knowing,
Someday You'll take me home to live forever
One day, You'll bring me to an eternal home in this elevated place.
Up on the mountain
In this elevated area.
