Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][D][C][G]
[Em][D][C][G]

[Verse 1]
O [Em]how high would I c[D]limb mountains
If the [C]mountains were where You [G]hide
O [Em]how far I'd scale the [D]valleys
If [C]You graced the other [G]side
O [Em]how long have I [D]chased rivers
From lowly [C]seas to where they [G]rise
Against the [Em]rush of grace de[D]scending
From the [C]source of its sup[G]ply

[Pre-chorus 1]
'Cause In the [C]highlands [D]and my [Em]heartache
You're neither [G]more or less in[D]clined
I would [C]search and [D]stop at [Em]nothing
You're just [C]not that hard to find,

[Chorus 1]
[G]Oh, I will praise You on the mountain
[D]And I will praise You
when the mountain's in my [Em]way
You're the [D]summit where my feet are
[C]So I will praise You in the valleys
all the [G]same
No less God within the shadows
[D]No less faithful
when the night leads me a[Em]stray
'Cause You're the [D]heaven where my heart is
[C]In the highlands and the heartache
all the [Em]same
[D][C][G]

[Verse 2]
O [Em]how far beneath Your g[D]lory
Does Your [C]kindness extend the [G]path
From where Your [Em]feet rest on the [D]sunrise
To where You [C]sweep the sinner's [G]past
And O [Em]how fast would You come [D]running
If just to [C]shadow me through the [G]night
Trace [Em]my steps through all my fa[D]ilure
And walk me [C]out the other [G]side

[Pre-chorus 2]
For who could [C]dare a[D]scend that [Em]mountain
That valleyed [G]hill called Calva[D]ry
But for the [C]One I [D]call Good [Em]Shepherd
Who like a [C]lamb was slain for me

[Chorus 2]
[G]Oh, I will praise You on the mountain
[D]And I will praise You
when the mountain's in my [Em]way
You're the [D]summit where my feet are
[C]So I will praise You in the valleys
all the [G]same
No less God within the shadows
[D]No less faithful
when the night leads me a[Em]stray
'Cause You're the [D]heaven where my heart is
[C]In the highlands and the heartache
all the [Em]same
[D][C][G]

[Bridge 1]
Whatever I [Em]walk through
Wherever I [D]am
Your Name can move [C]mountains
Wherever I [G]stand
And if ever I [Em]walk through
The valley of [D]death
I'll sing through the [C]shadows
My song of a[G]scent

[Bridge 2]
Whatever I [Em]walk through
Wherever I [D]am
Your Name can move [C]mountains
Wherever I [G]stand
And if ever I [Em]walk through
The valley of [D]death
I'll sing through the [C]shadows
My song of a[G]scent
My song of a[Em]scent
[D][C][G]
My song of a[Em]scent
[D][C][G]

[Pre-chorus 3]
From the [C]gravest [D]of all [Em]valleys
Come the [G]pastures we call [D]grace
A mighty [C]river [D]flowing [Em]upwards
From a [C]deep but empty grave

[Chorus 3]
[G]So I will praise You on the mountain
[D]I will praise You
when the mountain's in my [Em]way
You're the [D]summit where my feet are
[C]So I will praise You in the valleys
all the [G]same
No less God within the shadows
[D]No less faithful
when the night leads me a[Em]stray
'Cause You're the [D]heaven where my heart is
[C]In the highlands and the heartache
all the [G]same
