The Mountain by Steven Curtis Chapman I want to build a house up on this mountain Way up high where the peaceful waters flow To quench my thirsty soul up on the mountain I can see for miles up on this mountain Troubles seem so small they almost disappear Lord, I love it here up on the mountain My faith is strengthened by all that I see You make it easy for me to believe up on the mountain Oh, up on the mountain I would love to live up on this mountain And keep the pain of living life so far away But I know I can't stay up on the mountain I said I'd go, Lord, wherever you lead For where you are is where I most want to be And I can tell we're headed for the valley My faith is strengthened by all that I've seen So Lord help me to remember what you've shown me Up on the mountain You bring me up here on the mountain For me to rest and learn and grow I see the truth up on the mountain And I carry it to the world far below So as I go down to the valley Knowing that you will go with me This is my prayer, Lord Help me to remember what you're shown me Up on the mountain Up on the mountain I cherish these times up on the mountain But I can leave this place because I know Someday you'll take me home to live forever Up on the mountain
