Verse 1
   Em7            Dsus
O how high would I climb mountains
       C2                       G5
If the mountains were where You hide
    Em7                Dsus
O how far I’d scale the valleys
    C2                  G5
If You graced the other side
Verse 2
    Em7            Dsus
O how long have I chased rivers
           C2                 G
From lowly seas to where they rise
            Em7             Dsus
Against the rush of grace descending
         C2               G
From the source of its supply
Pre-Chorus 1
       C       Dsus    Em7
In the highlands and the heartache
               G2              Dsus
You’re neither more or less inclined
        C        Dsus    Em7
I would search and stop at nothing
            C2
You’re just not that hard to find
Chorus
G                                  D
   I will praise You on the mountain
                                                Em
And I will praise You when the mountain’s in my way
            D                     C
You’re the summit where my feet are
                                            G
So I will praise You in the valleys all the same
                               D
No less God within the shadows
                                          Em
No less faithful when the night leads me astray
            D                     C
You’re the heaven where my heart is
                                           Em D C G
In the highlands and the heartache all the same
Verse 3
    Em7                Dsus
O how far beneath Your glory
          C2                 G
Does Your kindness extend the path
                Em7             Dsus
From where Your feet rest on the sunrise
             C2                 G
To where You sweep the sinner’s past
Verse 4
    Em7                  Dsus
O how fast would You come running
           C2                  G
If just to shadow me through the night
        Em7                   Dsus
Trace my steps through all my failure
            C2          G
And walk me out the other side
Pre-Chorus 2
              C   Dsus     Em7
For who could dare ascend that mountain
              G2           Dsus
That valleyed hill called Calvary
            C   Dsus      Em7
But for the One I call Good Shepherd
           C2
Who like a lamb was slain for me
REPEAT CHORUS
Bridge
            Em7                    D
Whatever I walk through, wherever I am
                    C2                  G
Your Name can move mountains wherever I stand
               Em7                       D
And if ever I walk through the valley of death
                       C2                 G
I’ll sing through the shadows my song of ascent
REPEAT BRIDGE
Tag
             Em7     D   C2 G
My song of ascent, whoa, whoa
             Em7     D   C2 G
My song of ascent, whoa, whoa
Pre-Chorus 3
         C      D    Em
From the gravest of all valleys
         G                 D
Come the pastures we call grace
          C    D    Em
A mighty river flowing upwards
       C
From a deep but empty grave
REPEAT CHORUS
END CHORD
