No Hill for a Climber

At first I was standing on a hill so high

The dream was alive it was everywhere

Born of love above the earth and sky

I climbed to that place and I knew I’d make it there

Time eclipsed in a heartless time

They took my mountain they took my mind

The soaring peaks became a valley low

And left me with no real place to go

Now I know..

There’s no hill for a climber

No chance to ascend; just look around

No hope to go higher

No help for the one who’s been held down

No hill for a climber

The music turns upon a sharp descend

Reaching to the downcast to seal the crime

They took away the wheel but we will all pretend

The odds are even; it’s the same advantage for the ones last in line

Still I find..

There’s no hill for aclimber

No highland to gain; no mountainside

The horse and the rider

Are caught in the rain unsatisfied

But there’s somethin’ inside me

It’s calling if I can find the will

No hill for a climber

But is there a path that I might follow still

Your selfish habit

Born from blinding selfish need

Deaf, dumb, and desperate 

Inherent state of greed

Outrageous hunger

Needing what you cannot take

Deaf to the thunder

From storms that you create

Your selfish habit

Adam’s apple, just a taste

Can’t help but grab it

Unholy human race 

Ego was made for

Building up the shrine of self

It must be paid for

Self suffers self-made hell

It won’t quit

It won’t quit

It won’t quit 

Burn it down 

Burn it down 

It won’t quit

It won’t quit

No, it won’t quit 

Burn it down 

Burn it down

Burn it down

Holy Fire! Burn me down…

You buried treasure

The devil, he sits and waits

He has your spine cord

From which he operates 

Your selfish habit

Desperate, you stuff your face

Reckless, you grab it

Your love has turned to rape

It won’t quit

It won’t quit

It won’t quit 

Burn it down 

Burn it down 

It won’t quit

It won’t quit

No, it won’t quit 

Burn it down 

Burn it down

Burn it down

Holy Fire! Burn me down…

It barely whispers

Still small voice or deafening roar

Now it is screaming 

All that you’re desperate for

But your love is tainted

Darkened by your selfish shrine

Illuminate it

Reveal in the Divine

It won’t quit

It won’t quit

No, it won’t quit 

Burn it down 

Burn it down 

It won’t quit

It won’t quit

No, it won’t quit 

Burn it down 

Burn it down

It won’t quit…

Burn it down 

Burn it down 

Burn it down 

Burn it down 

Holy Fire! Calm me down…

No hill for a climber

(There is a way you can go)

No weight of the world can hold you down

(There is a God who loves you so)

The Son of the Father

(Reach out and feel and take His hand)

There’s nofalling that He can’t turn around

It’s no hill for a climber

There is a way you can cross to the hillside

There is a place and you’ve been there before

Heaven is here; it’s as near as your breathing

Walk in His grace and you’ll walk through the door

There is a day where the light is unfading

Spirit and sound they’re resounding the call

Mountain of God is the peak where you’re kneeling

No hill too high; all is love, LOVE IS ALL

No hill for a climber

But I’ll go!

No hill for aclimber

There is a way you can cross to the hillside

There is a place and you’ve been there before

Heaven is here; it’s as near as your breathing

Walk in His grace and you’ll walk through the door

There is a day where the light is unfading

Spirit and sound they’re resounding the call

Mountain of God is the peak where you’re kneeling

No hill too high; all is love, LOVE IS ALL

NOW the change has come and I can see the land

Leaning on the one who smiles and points to home

I can hear Him saying “Son, come take my hand

Together we will climb and in your heart you’ll know you’re never alone”

(He is the way you can cross to the hillside)

It’s time to come home

No hill for a climber

No chasm you cannot come across

The weary outsider

Will now find the life he thought was lost

The journey’s not over

Just ask and you’ll find the strength to run

Fulfill His desire

I feel like a new world has begun

No hill for a climber

I’m now with the one who never dies

He’s taking me higher

I’ll climb from the mountain into glory

To the place that IS forever

To the mountaintop beyond the SKY!
