Lyrics

[Verse 1]
O how high would I climb mountains
If the mountains were where You hide
And O how far I'd scale the valleys
If You graced the other side
[Verse 2]
O 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
[PreChorus]
‘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
[Chorus]
So, I praise You on the mountain
And I praise You when the mountain's in my way
You're the summit where my feet are
So, I will praise You in the valleys all the same
You're 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
[Verse 3]
O how far beneath Your glory
Does Your kindness extend the path
From where Your feet rest on the sunrise
To where You sweep the sinner's past
[Verse 4]
And O how fast would You come running
If just to shadow me through the night
You trace my steps through all my failure
And walk me out the other side
[PreChorus]
For who would dare ascend that mountain
Or that valleyed hill called Calvary
But for the One I call Good Shepherd
Who like a lamb was slain for me
[Chorus]
Oh, I'll praise You on the mountain
And I will praise You when the mountain's in my way
You're the summit where my feet are
So I will praise You in those valleys all the same
And 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
[Bridge]
Oh, oh
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
Well, I'll sing through the shadows
My song of ascent
So, 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'm gonna sing to the shadows
My song of ascent
[PreChorus]
'Cause from the gravest of all valleys
Come the pastures we call grace
A mighty river flowing upward
From a deep but empty grave
[Chorus]
So I praise You on the mountain
And I will praise You when the mountain's in my way
You're the summit where my feet are
So I will praise You in those valleys all the same
'Cause You're no less God within the shadows
And You're 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
[Verse 5]
Well, you never change
In the highlands and the heartache, You're the same
Yesterday, today, and forever
[Outro]
So, whatever I walk through and wherever I am
Your Name can move mountains, wherever I stand
So, if ever I walk through that valley of death
I'll sing to those shadows
My song of ascent
