verse 1 
    Em                  D 
O how high would I climb mountains 
       C                         G 
If the mountains were where You hide 
    Em                    D 
O how far I'd scale the valleys 
      C                  G 
If You graced the other side 


verse 2 
    Em                  D 
O how long have I chased rivers 
           C                   G 
From lowly seas to where they rise 
            Em                D 
Against the rush of grace descending 
        C                 G 
From the source of its supply 


Pre-Chorus 1 
              C          D          Em 
'Cause in the highlands and the heartache 
               G                 D 
You're neither more or less inclined 
       C           D         Em 
I would search and stop at nothing 
            C 
You're just not that hard to find 


G 
 I will praise You on the mountain 
D                                                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 
You're the heaven where my heart is 
C                                           Em    D     C    G 
 In the highlands and the heartache all the same 



verse 3 
    Em                   D 
O how far beneath Your glory 
          C                   G 
Does Your kindness extend the path 
                Em               D 
From where Your feet rest on the sunrise 
             C                    G 
To where You sweep the sinner's past 


verse 4 
    Em                      D 
O how fast would You come running 
           C                       G 
If just to shadow me through the night 
        Em                    D 
Trace my steps through all my failure 
            C              G 
And walk me out the other side 


Pre-Chorus 2 
              C      D           Em 
For who could dare ascend that mountain 
              G                D 
That valleyed hill called Calvary 
            C     D           Em 
But for the One I call Good Shepherd 
           C 
Who like a lamb was slain for me 



G 
 I will praise You on the mountain 
D                                                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 
You're the heaven where my heart is 
C                                           Em    D     C    G 
 In the highlands and the heartache all the same 




Bridge 
              Em                     D 
Whatever I walk through, wherever I am 
                      C                   G 
Your name can move mountains wherever I stand 
                  Em                        D 
And if ever I walk through the valley of death 
                        C                   G 
I'll sing through the shadows my song of ascent 


              Em                     D 
Whatever I walk through, wherever I am 
                      C                   G 
Your name can move mountains wherever I stand 
                  Em                        D 
And if ever I walk through the valley of death 
                        C                  G                  Em    D    C    G 
I'll sing through the shadows my song of ascent, my song of ascent 
              Em     D     C     G 
My song of ascent 


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 



G 
 I will praise You on the mountain 
D                                                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 
You're the heaven where my heart is 
C                                           G 
 In the highlands and the heartache all the same
