Verse 1
O [Em]how high wou[D]ld I climb mountains If t[C]he mountains w[G]ere where You hide O [Em]how far I'd sca[D]le the valleys If [C]You graced t[G]he other side
Verse 2
O [Em]how long have[D] I chased rivers From l[C]owly seas to[G] where they rise Against[Em] the rush o[D]f grace descending From[C] the source[G] of its supply
Pre-Chorus 1
'Cause i[C]n the h[D]ighland[Em]s and the heartache You're n[G]either more [D]or less inclined I wo[C]uld sea[D]rch and[Em] stop at nothing You're [C]just not that hard to find
Chorus 1
[G]I will praise You on the mountain [D]And I will praise You when [Em]the mountain's in my way You're[D] the summit w[C]here my feet are So I will praise You in th[G]e valleys all the same No less God with[D]in the shadows No less faithful when th[Em]e night leads me astray You're[D] the heaven where my heart is [C]In the highlands and the[Em] heart[D]ache[C] all[G] the same
Verse 3
O [Em]how far benea[D]th Your glory Does [C]Your kindnes[G]s extend the path From wher[Em]e Your feet[D] rest on the sunrise To wher[C]e You sweep [G]the sinner's past
Verse 4
O [Em]how fast would[D] You come running If [C]just[G] to shadow me through the night Trac[Em]e my steps thro[D]ugh all my failure And wa[C]lk me out[G] the other side
Pre-Chorus 2
For who[C] coul[D]d dare [Em]ascend that mountain That val[G]leyed hill [D]called Calvary But for[C] the[D] One I [Em]call Good Shepherd Who li[C]ke a lamb was slain for me
Chorus 2
[G]I will praise You on the mountain [D]And I will praise You when [Em]the mountain's in my way You're[D] the summit w[C]here my feet are So I will praise You in th[G]e valleys all the same No less God with[D]in the shadows No less faithful when the[Em] night leads me astray You're[D] the heaven where my heart is [C]In the highlands and the[Em] heart[D]ache[C] all[G] the same
Bridge
Whatev[Em]er I walk throu[D]gh, wherever I am Your name c[C]an move mou[G]ntains wherever I stand And if eve[Em]r I walk through [D]the valley of death I'll sing thr[C]ough the sha[G]dows my song of ascent Whateve[Em]r I walk throu[D]gh, wherever I am Your name c[C]an move mou[G]ntains wherever I stand And if eve[Em]r I walk through [D]the valley of death I'll sing thr[C]ough the sha[G]dows my son[Em]g of [D]asce[C]nt, [G]my song of ascent My song[Em] of as[D]cent[C][G]
Pre-Chorus 3
From [C]the gr[D]avest [Em]of all valleys Come [G]the pasture[D]s we call grace A mig[C]hty r[D]iver [Em]flowing upwards From[C] a deep but empty grave
Chorus 3
[G]I will praise You on the mountain [D] And[Em] I will praise You when the mountain's in my way You're[D] the summit w[C]here my feet are So I will praise You in th[G]e valleys all the same No less God with[D]in the shadows No less faithful when th[Em]e night leads me astray You're[D] the heaven where my heart is [C]In the highlands and the [G]heartache all the same
