Highlands Song Of Ascent - Hillsong United
O how high would I climb mountains If the mountains were where You hide
O how far I'd scale the valleys If You graced the other side
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
* '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
** I will 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 the valleys all the same
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
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
O how fast would You come running If just to shadow me through the night
Trace my steps through all my failure And walk me out the other side
( * , ** )
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'll sing through the shadows my song of ascent
