[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
 
 
[Chorus]
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
 
 
[Chorus]
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
 
 
[Chorus]
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
